Older poser versions had a way of getting rid of un-needed tabs... like the faceroom for example.  Is there a way to do it in Poser 8?

I belive that would require you to modify the interface's XML files and I don't think that's even legal, so short anwser, no.

 Why wouldn't it be legal? It's not like he's selling it with the tabs removed.

Try a search for ContentParadise.. there were methods posted back when ..er..Poser 5 I think came out.. about what to write, and where - to get rid of that. Ought to function for all tabs.

It's absolutely not illegal to modify Poser in that way.

I've done it with P5 and P6.  Are the methods still the same?  I don't remember how to do it, but I could probably dig up the answer...

Do the tabs really need to be removed? Just curious why you would want to.

Mostly because there are several tabs I never use like the hair room and the face room.  Yet I find myself clicking on them accidently and it interrupts my workflow.

I've always wished the rooms links were at the top like the file menu. The tabs are a waste of workspace, the P8 tabs are better, but still a waste.

NOTE!!
I have no idea about XML files - but what I described below wrorks for me just fine.


  1. I managed to get rid of selected TABs by editing "roomTabs.xml" file (located in "ui" folder).

2 .The only way I found to remove the WHOLE BAR with tabs was to change "bottom" value in:

Widget name="RoomTabSet"

set that value to 1 (there are 2 places to change it) --- doing that you do not get rid of the bar but only make its heihgt = 0 - so it is not visible enymore.

This is what I tried...

I deleted all of the text paragraphs that had to do with the tabs.  When I started up Poser again, all of the tabs were there, but they just didn't have names.

What did I do wrong?

Never mind, I did it...

Deleted all of the Tab Width Widgets...

Thanks for the advice...
