What is a hardcoded limit?

A hardcoded limit is a limit on functionality by design. This is a list of hard coded limits in the current XUI implementation that limit just what a viewer skin can do. All of these are specific limitations that exist within the way the viewer handles certain elements of the user interface. This page is for addressing shortcomings in the current xml files, and should not be confused with the need for a fully scriptable interface.
