I had found a tutorial for Customizing the Poser UI to use less space in the Libraries and other menus. Now I have upgraded to Poser 6 and it overwrote the custom pds and xml files. Can not find the tutorial now so I can recreate them.

I'm guessing it was this one...

And maybe this one as well, to reduce the space taken by the parameter dials. You'll probably want to back things up, since these tricks might not work in P6!

Thank you so much. These are the exact ones I was trying to find.

Did it work for you in P6? I've done both tweaks in P5 (much better!), and I wanted to try it P6 too, but wasn't sure if it would work. I'd appreciate knowing. mac

The dials tweak is the same Curious Labs did not change this file. But the libraries tweak does not work. The 27100_library.psd files in the two versions are very different. I ask tech support if they were going to support more "user friendly" UI in the future enabling the user with more options. I got a rude answer from them.

Thanks for letting me know. Good to know before I started doing it. You got a rude answer from them? Sheesh! Cl really need to take lessons in listening to user feedback. mac

Randy,

The answer is no we will not offer that kind of support.

I hope this helps!

will be support for more user options such as this is just an example of
what people want.

Randy,

I am sorry as we do not offer support as how to hack our user interface for
customization. We do not encourage this and thus will not explain how to do
it.

I hope this helps!

Question:
I had customized my poser 5 interface to use less space for library
menus, now in poser 6 the file 27100_library.psd has change not seeming to
allow for this. So far I am disappointed in the interface taking so much
unnecessary space for controls and menus. I would have thought their would
be more custom settings in Poser 6.

Here are links to two tweaks that I would like to use in poser 6 that got
over wrote installing to my poser 5 dir.

Are these possible in Poser 6?

Why are there not more custom settings built in?

Hi all. I'm glad that my P5 UI tweaks got such wide acceptance - even if I never used P5 much myself (I was one of those for whom P5 was literally unusable until SR4.1.) The place where most of the communication on this topic has been carried on is PoserPros > P5 Tips & Tweaks. Netherworks confirmed early on that the dial tweak still works (thank goodness!), but that the libraries tweak should NOT be tried on P6. I have P6 SE-in-a-Box, but have been so busy with my real life so far this year that I've not even installed it. Hopefully I'll have time soon to further annoy CL by improving their interface, and take Nether up on his offer ;-)

Thanks for the heads-up, LB. And thanks for the tweaks! They made my P5 a lot more usable. mac
