I've tried that, but the problem I have is that my menu is 5 - 10 pixels too far up so that I can't see it at all, but I can access its menus still through the Ctrl+Shift+F7. How do I get it so I can move it down?

Followed your guide and it works perfect, thank you!

Thanks for your outstanding support on maintaining the skin!

I now uploaded new versions of the skin which are for all users who did not fix the skin from the given instructions.

Update 4.18.1a

Applied changes up to 18.1

And post #1024 is ... mine ... SCNR ;o)

thanks for the update and your great GUI's!

just noticed that the menu that is usually at the top right is gone, got a fix?

3rd edit: fixed it with help on front page

4th edit: seems that it disappears again on relog.

**tacoleet** · Jun 26th, 2009, 19:37:33

menus are showing up on my gui..

But the Cred/aggdef isn't showing up

Yes did the FAQ on teh first page.. but something odd

_cc_right_bar isn't in the Cntrl+Shift+F7 list..

Installed correctly afaik..

----

Installed again

Still no cred/aggdef.. Bottom Bar keeps unchecking itself

**MajorOutage** · Jun 26th, 2009, 23:54:12

My GUI settings still aren't saving on any toon. They show up in DistValues after I enable them in Preferences, but disappear when I log off.

**Thatzypoo** · Jun 27th, 2009, 09:45:01

Updated the skin, Creds/aggdef bar are showing. But the menus aren't. Help!
I tried to fix it with the FAQ, but the values for those listed are not even there to begin with.

**Rocketjump** · Jun 27th, 2009, 13:01:28

So, its working correctly or still need to be fixed ? )
Just interesting - wanna change my ugly default gui on notum.

**Espex** · Jun 27th, 2009, 14:16:00

where can i find the normal notum dovtech?

**Misat0** · Jun 27th, 2009, 17:30:26

It's the one named "Original".

And I'm working on a fix, for the settings not being saved.

**Honorbound** · Jun 27th, 2009, 19:02:46

I also found issues with the 18.1 (Notum) variant:
- the loading screen is reverted to the default AO logo
(- the Menubar status is not saved)
- the fighting/nano target NCU windows can't be opened
- the CityTerminal.xml is not updated to match the default GUI, which now lacks the controls used to pay city upkeep

(When the GUI is installed as advised and activated through the setoption command, the flags controlling menubar visibility are not saved to any of the Prefs.xml files, and even removed if present; I'd guess this new "support for external GUIs" feature doesn't quite work with variables that are not originally part of the default GUI control variable set.
If the GUI is installed the old way, by renaming the default GUI folder to something else and renaming the "Notum4" (or whichever) folder to "Default", the menubar status appears to be still saved/loaded properly.)

As for the target NCU windows, the default GUI refers to them as "ShowFightTargetNCU" and "ShowNanoTargetNCU", but Notum has "ShowHostileTargetNCU" and "ShowTargetNCU" instead.
After I replaced the relevant parts of CharPrefs.xml from the default GUI to Notum, the windows could be opened from the F10 menu; the names used in Notum appear to be wrong.

This took some time to actually post, I see you've started looking into the menubar issue in the meantime.

**scenenheard** · Jun 27th, 2009, 19:06:54

the menu button issue is actually a known bug that should be fixed next patch along with the loading screen

**Misat0** · Jun 27th, 2009, 19:38:15

Thanks for the NCU window advice. Will implement the fix this evening.

With the menubar issue it seems we have to wait as sceneheard said. Seems the game loads these files from the "Default" folder...

**scenenheard** · Jun 27th, 2009, 20:13:09

yeah, the GUIName command function completely ignores the custom template xmls CharPrefs & LoginPrefs

**MajorOutage** · Jun 27th, 2009, 20:46:34

So, go back to the old way of running custom GUI for now then. Ok.

**erozc** · Jun 30th, 2009, 21:35:24

Bamp for super skin!

Tried getting a link off the first post (notum edge), to fix my default gui woes, with failure.

Then tried using the edit-files solution on page 51, with no noticable change. As almost every change suggested was already inside the file, clearly Misat0 added these things.

If you'll look at the screenie, its not as it should be. How do I fix this?

http://www.vurt.net/~banana/scrn0000.png

doing that reload menus thing makes no changes. Restarting makes no changes.

-The sidebar is half wide.
-The agg def bar is also half-wide.
-The bottom blue bar is not at the bottom.
-The little top bar isnt a top bar, just buggered up default icons.
-The compass appears to be broken and stuck in a corner.

Not a clue how to fix this junk. Is this problem my fault with an obvious solution I should know about, or is it just wierdness?

**XenonDe** · Jul 1st, 2009, 21:22:03

that's really weird.
Did you use the Guiname to install notum next to the Default dir or did you try replacing the 18.1 Default folder?
