Here's the original Xail menu
And here's what I have now
How do you like me now???
The system is now going through some cosmetic system upgrades. No actual notes on HOW to config things, but there is plenty to do.
I got the side stats window to right-justify now. Yay! Oh, and I decided to use the icons in the Xail screenshot, though I didn't clean up the star or sword icon.
Now, there is a feature that lets one change the windowskin of the menu akin to the original XAIL system's MENU_SKIN configurable value. However, one need not use the traditional windowskin feature, and can use background images. You may even allow for a second image behind which can scroll according to your desired settings, much like a Moghunter menu. Or if you prefer, you may set the system up so the field map can be shown behind the menu itself.
However, there is one caveat about using a background image behind the menu. The image will not expand if a new menu option is activated and shown as part of the new 'hidden/reveal' menu option. But you can set the command window to scroll if you so choose.
There are still things on my hit list:
Well, if one is using OTHER Moghunter menus such as Item, Skills... You might as well be able to customize this system to resemble a Moggy Menu as well as being a kickin' Windowskin-based menu. I'm all about the options.
Well, that's all. Ciao.

There are still things on my hit list:
- The alteration of the party window so certain options (level, class, exp, status) can be deactivated. Not all menu windows are created equally.
- Settings for the 'Status Effect' text option. It currently shows a bit off to the side, but that's because it hasn't been touched. Icons may be an option
- Xail's music-in-menu system.
- Formations. I need to add a feature so one may have a party rearrange feature, something separate from a party recruitment option.
- FOOD. Okay, I'm hungry.
- Still no time window. Meh. It should be its own separate method in the system so a day/night system can be added.
- Options to re-activate/re-display classic 'Steps, Gold and Time' window options.
- Feed the cats.
- Custom Bar Add-ons. The current bars in display are cogwheel bars, not exactly set up for this system. And I do not wish interference with other systems.
- Party Member Disable Visibility. Some menu options may be set only for a particular member. SO... why not make all the others disabled in appearance?
