Popmenu: WindowControl - Control All Your Windows!


Recommended Posts

Ever have trouble remembering a pesky name for a window you'd like to open or resize? Ever want an easy way to change the color of your windows? 

 

Attached is a popmenu for controlling and managing the windows in the game's Graphical User Interface. It contains every window name able to be used with a slash command that is available to players. Aliases for most window names have been left out of this popmenu. 

 

There's 3 basic functions to manipulate windows:

1.  Show or open the window  (/window_show)

2.  Hide or close the window  (/window_hide)

3.  Scale or resize the window  (/window_scale)

 

and /window_toggle will both open and close windows.

 

FEATURES:

  • Open, close, or resize a window with just a few clicks! Standard sizes have been included as well as the ability to customize the window size to your liking.
  • Resize the entire UI
  • Color your windows
  • Save your window setup as the default for all your characters
  • Load a custom default setup
  • Save a custom window setup for individual characters
  • Load a saved custom window setup onto individual characters
  • Close all non-essential windows in 1 click
  • Reset your windows to the game's default.

 

For advanced users, you can use this popmenu as a handy, in-game reference for the window names. Every name listed is the actual name the game uses to call up the windows. I'd recommend adding it to either the Quickchat menu or a Custom Window. Help would be a good place for it too. Lastly, a macro would do as well.

 

To use this popmenu, copy the attached .mnu file into the following directory:

<COH install directory>/data/texts/English/menus/

 

If these folders don't exist, then create them. 

 

Start or restart the game. Then make a macro:

/macro "Window Control" "popmenu WindowControl"

To be honest, I have no idea if people will find this useful. So let me know! 🙂

This question might be a bit off topic but is there a way to save a UI set up and then load it onto other existing characters?

If you'd rather use a slash command, you can also use /wdwsave to do this.
