Build 8:

Build 7:

FAQ
===========
1.
Question: How to move xUI elements around?
Answer: Every element that the xUI adds, except the small party bar and the quickspell bar, can be dragged around. They have an 8 pixel border around them where they can be dragged from.
2.
Question: What files will be overwritten by this UI?
Answer: None.
3.
Question: Does this work with PW's?
Answer: Yes, but xUI has to be installed on the server. There is right now no way around this and nothing I can influence because this is how NWN 2 is designed.
4.
Question: My xUI is not working properly since NWN 2 v1.04 how do I fix that?
Answer: Make sure you have installed at least xUI v1.4 and check that the following two NWN 2 options are activated:
- Game Options -> Interface -> Show Horizontal Hotbar 1
- Game Options -> Interface -> Show Modebar
Known problems
===========
1.
In multiplayer the xUI configuration might not be saved.
2.
Hotbar hotkeys do not work completely the same way they work in the default NWN 2 UI. Hotbar hotkeys will only work for the first row of the xUI hotbars. Have a look at the Readme for more details.
3.
At the moment the hotkeys for the hotbar do only work after you pressed Shift-1 once.
I am looking into this to find a solution.
Have fun
