This is mostly a polishing of Better Hotbar mod - freeing even more space for slots, adding auto-hide, including libraries to main .xaml to make mod compatible with almost anything out of box.


All features of the mod:

  1. significantly increased hotbar's grid - from 4x16 (64 slots) in vanilla to:
  2. 4x25 (100 slots) for 16:9 aspect ration, vanilla icons size.
  3. 4x28 (112 slots) for 16:9 aspect ratio, 86% icons size.
  4. 6x33 (198 slots) for 16:9 aspect ratio, 75% icons size (+/- buttons work from 4 to 6 rows - vanilla does that from 2 to 4).
  5. 4x24 (96 slots) for 16:10 aspect ratio, 86% icons size.
  6. 4x34 (136 slots) for ultrawide screens, vanilla icons size.
  7. 4x41 (164 slots) for ultrawide screens, 86% icons size.
  8. 4x19 (76 slots) for 16:10, suggested for people with low vision (scaled to 112.5%).
  9. plus 4 version with autohide on by default.
  10. auto-hide toggle - widget is normally visible, but with "eye" button pressed it will fade-out after ~1.5s and appear again only when mouse-hovered or in turn-based mode. its state will be reseted on game load tho.
  11. additional bars for passives, re-cast spells and bindable items/spell.
  12. smaller turn order panel, which doesn't overlap with combat log/feed now.
  13. due to slightly smaller concentration icon, level up and tab buttons hotbar sits closer to the bottom edge of the screen.
  14. cleaning of decor textures.
  15. complete rework of status and reactions holders.


1.3+ versions have re-cast/metaspells panel integrated in concertina (main hotbar panel). You need to initiate shutters to make it work properly (check gif on the top of the page).


Additionally in Optional Files you can find Universal Reviver (tool for reseting shutters in case you lost any of them or grid, if part of it doesn't show up). As well as 'autohide on' versions.


How to use universal reviver: make a save with all problematic characters in party, uninstall your BH2 version of choice, install reviver, load your save, check that shutters and grid are back to normal on your characters, initiate shutters like you normally do, save, uninstall reviver, install you default version.
