RedWindows

- Introduction -

RedWindows delivers in-game windows built in the game's own interface: real ink widgets, Raj type, the blues you already know. They are meant to look like they are native to Cyberpunk 2077 - "ImGui-style" describes the code mod authors write, not what you see on screen. Windows live on the HUD, so nothing pauses like a popup or a tutorial would do - a readout can sit on screen while you drive for example. Press the overlay key and a pointer appears together with whatever window(s) is only shown while overlay is active. You can choose to pause the game and the choice is readily available in the dock menu; a simple checkbox. Every window becomes interact-able; press the overlay key again and they fade unless told to being part of your gameplay HUD.

For mod authors the API reads like ImGui - Text, Button, Checkbox, SliderF, Combo, ListBox, tabs, collapsing headers, SameLine - but is retained underneath, so a window costs nothing to keep on screen and nothing rebuilds every frame.

Finally a simpler way to build real UI elements for us Redscript suckers! All of this was of course inspired by CET and it's layout and functionalities - it's intentionally close in design to make it easier to use for those who already know and have used CET. It is however not intended as a replacement and has nothing to do at all with LUA or LUA mods: it stands on its own.

TL;DR - Mod windows that look like they came with the game. (⌐⊙_⊙)

- For Players -

Press F7 (rebindable) to enter overlay mode.

[]The dock sits at the top: Console, Settings, Hotkeys, Windows, Photos, Logs and a Pause Game checkbox, each appearing only if the mod behind it is installed.[/]

[]Photos (with RedIMGRetriever 0. 3. 0+ installed) browses your Pictures\Cyberpunk 2077 screenshot folder right on the HUD - newest first, sized to the window, and an animated GIF dropped in that folder plays. Two checkboxes cap the texture at 1080p or 2160p if you do not need full resolution.[/]

[]Windows drag by their title bar - or anywhere on their body if they have no title. The corner resizes them, the wheel scrolls anything too tall, and clicking a title bar folds the window down to just that bar.[/]

[]Window Manager (the Windows button) lists every window any mod has registered, with a checkbox each to manage their visibility.[/]

[]The Pause Game checkbox simply pauses the game while the overlay is open; so you can decide yourself if the game goes on or not.[/]

[]Pinned or not is up to the mod: a readout can stay on your HUD after you leave the overlay, while a settings window disappears with it.[/]

[*]Everything is remembered - position, size, collapsed state, and which
