    can dim d/l just the files for the oger database?

    nothing is in its default folder name, is the oger db going to be any help without the default paths?

    You can't, since it doesn't exist. That is the content thata ppears, as a placeholder, in a pane that has nothing else to display because of the current seelction. if you don't want that pane at all just close it, but if you do then the text will show until it has something appropriate to show.

    If you want to get rid of the 'What do I do?' message in panes, in Windows Explorer, go the DS folder. Mine is in C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\resources. Inside the resources folder, there's a folder called 'guide pages' With DAZ Studio closed, change the name (I changed mine to '!guide pages'), then re-open DS. No more 'What do I do?'

    If for some reason, you want to see the message, just change the folder name back again.

    But as I said all you are removing is the paceholder, so you will get an empty space isntead of the message - you don't gain anything functional by so doing, and there's a risk of breaking something (in future if not currently).

    yeah, even though cursor turns into double line, it refuses to resize

    would really rather that space for the parameter slider titles

    is there like an xml page where i can shrink the column?

     

    i see many "..." the titles get truncated

    I am able to resize the area, though if you made it smaller it will be smaller for the sliders too, though it would be larger for the group names (which is what I think you mean)

    is it possible to replace the text with custom image button?

    Yes, go to the Customize dialog (press F3) find the action in the list on the left, right-click on it and there is a entry for Change Icon, next you see a file browser to select a JPG or PNG image file.

    This was posted recently with a screenshot I just can't find it anymore.

    I tried it once to add icons to actions but they look a bit off if they don't follow the overall color scheme. I wonder if there are defined colors to have transparency in the icon or even let it pick up the current color syle of Daz Studio? I know of textures for game engines that used a certain shade of purple for tranparency - I guess its not the case with Dat Studio.

    I prefer to put those actions without icons and long names into a menu. I don't want to have more meaningless icons cluttering my screen. I put this action into my WeightMap Brush main menu see attachment.

    I can press X and convert anything to Blended weight on mine as I added that action

    my UI is very customised and uses two monitors with grouped floating tabs and garish colours!

    also my arrow keys replace the WASD to navigate if needed
