I've been trying DuxaUI for a few weeks and really like it but decided to give this one a shot. This instantly became my favorite. Excellent work with this UI.
The one minor issue I had was that there was nowhere that showed my character's weight without opening the inventory window. So, I made a slight modification to the player window (which was about the only window I could find that had any extra space, which is a testament to the spatial efficiency of this UI) to show current and max weight. I struggled mightily with number placement, and whether or not to include both current and max weight or just current. I wanted the result to be functional but also look decent (which was tough for not having coded any XML before). After considering several different locations and formats (i.e. "current/max" format or splitting them up), I decided to put the current weight in the lower left corner, and the max weight in the lower right. This let me maintain a balanced look to the all the numbers in the window without having to move any of the existing numbers. I don't know yet if my solution is the most ideal, but for an XML newbie, I am happy with how it looks and it gets the job done.
I haven't yet taken a screenshot but it looks just like the existing player window with a small number (same font size as the HP/MANA/EXP percentages) for current weight in the lower left corner, and a number for max weight in the lower right. If there is interest I will post a screenshot of it and provide the updated code I used. And if anyone has ideas about better number placement I am all ears!
