I hate the sneaky amp etc way to do it, and it doesn't look like VI will be addressing their flawed CD commands anythime soon. So ...IT"S UP TO US!!!er YOU!!! those of you that can Mod that is LOL.

This does include the inability to create custom UI "hotkeys/macros". __________________ Sithr, 65th Transcendent Officer/Leader of Chronology Mithaniel Marr http://www.chronology-guild.org/

No can do. For one, socials currently only work in the Hotkeys window. There's no way to move them to other windows.

Secondly, we can't create new windows.

This idea, if done, will require that you hijack the Hokeys window using the genaric square, but smaller, hotkeys. Then you can just use 1-0.

Now, there are commands in game, but that was previously discribed as: "their flawed CD commands". So, he knows about the / commands, but they seem to be broke.

The commands, if I recall, do actually incorperate with WinAmp. I've never used them, since I normally have my home stero system playing in the background.

I acctually kept my socials and hotkeys where they are so I have little exp with those windows again this is just theory I have not tryed any of this nor will I try any of it.. but the options are out there for those that have no home stereo :P hehe

Unless VI's fixed the inability to move buttons to other windows, it won't work I'm afraid.

It's a bug (?) in the UI that prevent any button from working in another window. Hotkeys are concidered buttons. Thus, they can only work in the Hotkey bank, and no place else.

Same reasons you can't move the Pet Button to any other window.

Ha, won't that be nice. The maps are static images. Nothing more. You can very well have a static image of a screen shot of WinAmp in the UI, if you want that. The only problem with adding anything like WinAmp front ends is the inability to create custom actions.
ie - Click this, this happens. No can do. No way at all to create that. The closest we have are teh socials that require use of / commands. And you just said yourself, the / commands don't work for you.
