Huh? What is this about? I sure hope I don't have to become a computer wiz to be able to play KR.

Means you can customise the UI to your liking now. Basically the appearance

Keep in mind that this is just the beginning. We plan to provide you guys with better documentation in the near future.

Edit: One thing I forgot to mention in the news is that your textures need to be a power of 2 (512x512, 256x512 etc) or they won't load properly!

Make sure that the extraction process created a Default folder under UserInterface.

I think this means that I should make "Default" directory under the "UserInterface". But I think it is wrong. The extraction process doesn't make "Default" directory, and if you make "Default" under "UserInterface", you see two "Default" directories on the pull-down menu of Custom UI. So I think I should leave the "UserInterface" as is.

*edited * The original "Default" is the non-editted UI - what you get without having anything in the UserInterface folder.
If you extract the files in the Default.zip into a directory, the name of that directory will be used for whatever new skin you make. As long as you put the files in the right spot, any changes you make will be reflected in the game when using that skin.
itted: Sorry, I might be mistaken. It seems that you should make "Default" or so under "UserInterface". Then, what is the original "Default"?

could you take the horizontal stat bar from 2D, and add replace the vertical one in KR? I mean can you just change the background images so far, or can you actually change the layout as well?

Umm... not entirely positive about the layout for that gump... but most likely.
You can make your books have the left page on the right, and the right page on the left if you want

I'll take a look at the character sheet today.

edit::
Customization of the Character Sheet is very very limited. You cannot change it from a horizontal to a vertical format, you cannot re-organize the order of the data, you cannot move the horizontal dividers. You can change the relative position of each element in each row, the look of the background, the position of the next/prev buttons, and the position of the the special move buttons..

I opened your zip folder,and then the Book section and.........*BLINKS*

what the heck do I do with all that coding,*grins* .

Can some clever person please put up an idiots guide for folk like me.

There won't ever be an idiot's guide to altering the XML directly, I don't think... the XML isn't that friendly to non-coders. Tools should pop up though that make most skinning fairly easy, even without being able to read XML.

I've got it in my to-do list to write a walkthrough though for my first full UI customization.

is this using .lua?

The scripts are all Lua, but those aren't exposed. All the customization that we can do now is XML property files and DDS textures. needs posting
