<t>Thanks, Davinci.<br/> <br/> Actually, the mod changes five files. Plus, I also made changes to "keyboard.csv".<br/> <br/> It has a "Graphics/ToolBar" folder which contains modified versions of "buttons.dds" and of "toolbar.dds".<br/> <br/> Then in the "Logistics" folder, it contains not only the ...

<t>Davinci - That did it! When I first tested your suggestion about those four tooltips the other day, I changed only the Union set, then started a scenario as a Confederate.<br/> <br/> Today, after your latest advice, I did both, and voila! No more tooltips! Again, thanks very much for your help wi...

<r>The "Minimal HUD" mod is now at the point where I'm happy with it, thanks to the advice and encouragement offered by Davinci and Saddletank.<br/> <br/> Davinci - I've not been able to get rid of the tooltips for those four furshlugginger buttons, but they're pretty unobtrusive, so for now at leas...

It's weird...<br/> <br/> I just finished a 2 hour MP HITS battle with my PC gaming buddy, and the mod worked fine, no glitches. The four weird buttons ar...

<t>Davinci - Thanks for the tips. I hadn't noticed "buttons.dds" before, and removing all graphics from its single layer and rendering it transparent did get rid of the buttons, though the tooltips still pop up like "button ghosts" when I mouse over the former locations of said 4 buttons :huh: . I s...

<r>Thanks Davinci, Saddletank.<br/> <br/> I've considered eliminating the unit info from the HUD entirely, and just relying on the OOB. But I want to playtest it thoroughly first, in both SP & MP. I have an old gaming friend in San Diego (I'm in Massachusetts) who, along with me, just discovered...

Oops. I failed to get the screenshot uploaded, let's try again...
