I have two full weeks off between Christmas and New Years... I am hoping I can use that time to get the GUI tool started.

It will really be nice to stop being asked every other day if this, that or the other thing can been added, changed, moved, etc.

~lol~

For the record... EVERYTHING can be added, removed, moved, sized, changed... you just have to modify the skin file to do it. Eventually I am hoping to code a layout tool that will basically read and write the skin files for you and save them in the nUI saved variables files. Until then, you have to do it by hand *and* you have to be aware that updates can overwrite those changes.

I will do my best to address this issue over my vacation as that is without question the singular most frequent question. In the meantime, anyone who wants can create custom layouts just by modifying the skin files and/or the default configuration values in the source files. If you come up with a skin/layout you like and want to share with others, let me know and I'll help you make a plug-in out of it.

In fact, I *encourage* people to do this. I am *not* capable of making nUI right for everyone and I have no intention of trying. For that matter, there are countless others who I strongly suspect would be far more skilled than I at designing layouts and I am looking forward to the day they begin to participate in nUI's plugin options.
