Good Work!

Actually, I have a strange problem when changing the settings in the file (in anyway): the tab-layout does not appear on the Map-screen, only on the 3d view. I did note that in the text file it says something about only affecting the first HUD, so perhaps it is that.

Without any mods put the text file in the "default/hud folder. I have mods so I make sure they are in the override folder as well. :salute:

I have no mods at all. I am using PlayOnLinux so it might be an interaction with that (seems unlikely but possible).

Sorry I can't help with Linux...:hmmm:

I changed back to along-the-bottom and it now seems to be fine. Just a glitch, perhaps.:)

Is there a way we can have a permanent waterfall display along with the tube layout screen?

yeah that would be neat!
also having the other 3 comand boards put above each other next to the minimap ?

welcome aboard!
