Skinning How To/Hardcoded limits in the xml files

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.

Certain elements of the viewer cannot be specifically colored due to dependencies. These are:

• Background color of the inventory. This is controlled by FocusBackgroundColor and DefaultBackgroundColor. In other words, changing the background color of your inventory will change the color of floaters, and vice versa.
• Text of the pie menu, inventory, and menus. All three are controlled by MenuItemDisabledColor and MenuItemEnabledColor and cannot be individually changed, even though their backgrounds can be set to different colors.
