SlimGUI

It all started out as a desire to compile all the various gui tweaks i was using into one (xUI, Slate's Tiny Spell book, Cyricc Compact Character Stats, Gaoneng Player's Handbook etc). I play in 1024 res and the default layout just takes too much space. I really loved the Baldur's Gate UI by Trevor Morris, but it took up even more space. Then I thought of modifying a few things myself...

These are the changes to the default GUI (I tried to make the panels of uniform size and look - thin borders, transparent black background, smaller buttons, smaller scrollbars etc):

• Character Screen reduced in size to be the same as inventory screen. Changed background, smaller fonts with no
• outline (much clearer with the black background)...
• Changed the look of the Inventory
• Resized Known Spells and Memorized Spells to be the same size as the
• Inventory, changed look, replaced spell level icons with the ones from
• NWN1
• Resized Store, Barter Screens, changed look...
• Changed Quick Cast drop-down menu and Metadata Grid and look
• Mini Map changed a lot (square minimap) and Area Map changed just a little bit (not much that can be done there)
• Smaller Party Bar
• Added Command bar options in the Mode Bar with the NWN1 Icons
• Changed the look of Hotbar, Action Queue, Target Enemy, Target Friend, Player Menu, Voice Menu, Journal
• changed the loading bar in Load Area and Load Module Screens

My sincere thanks goes out to XiDragon for allowing me to use and modify his code to create and give functionality to SlimGUI options screen. XiDragon's (xUI) has been an inspiration to me to make my own UI improvements.
