Okay this looks interesting, would like to test it but it definitely doesn’t work for me. I play with 3440x1440 display resolution. After activating “EEex enable PC Effects” and giving “EEex show NPC bar” a hotkey (+) I have access to the NPC Bar menu but no bar is showing up also no symbols besides portraits. Any idea why?
Also as you can see above the EEex bars shows up in the right bottom corner.
This is my testing modlist:

Hi @Pecca, I love the BG2 skin! Looking forward to seeing it complete!
Some feedback, if I may, which is personal opinion, in case you're aiming for original BG2 feel with the BG2 skin.
To me slightly desaturated blue menu buttons at the bottom invoke more nostalgia, and thus look better, as it matches the original BG2 icons closer.
Even a small difference is noticeable. Other icons in the bottom menu (e.g. Cast Spell, Thieving, etc) in the original are more saturated than the menu buttons (Map, Character, etc) because they have less surface and aren't clumped together. The menu buttons have borders as well and when all grouped together, if overly saturated, form a bluish bar which doesn't match visually with anything else on the screen.
Current:
More oBG2-like, only the blue menu buttons desaturated a bit:
I plan to rework menu buttons completely for bg2 skin since I decided to use (almost) exlusively art assets from vanilla game for that and ee buttons don't fit there with any shade to my liking.
Infinity UI++ currently hangs on starting (before the first string) the Black Pits 2 if you create and import members into the party. It will work with the default party.
Even unfinished, I'm enjoying the UI with the bg2 skin a lot and I'm using it for my current game. I did a couple of edits according to my personal preferences to use until the next version and I'd like to share .
I de-saturated the blue menu icons and added a toggle for the resizable message box:
I'd forgotten that I made some changes to the dialogue screen as well (smaller portrait, more space between text and top border, moved portrait and buttons slightly away from edges), these are already in v1 but I'd forgotten about them. I'm pretty sure these are all the changes I've done:
Thanks again for the great mod, Pecca!
Edit: Added screenshot of dialogue screen as well.
Sorry for double-post, but since it's completely unrelated to the above, it probably shouldn't be an edit: @Pecca, is there any way to make UI send an item directly to a Bag of Holding in the character's inventory? For example, on shift-click on an item shown in the quickloot list. Even if it requires the bag of holding to be in a specific inventory slot to make any conditionals work. Something like that could be quite useful.
The UI has worked near perfectly on my android tablet and even got the hotkeys working after key mapping and copying over the settings from my pc. My only issue is that when I use the in game UI editor on the portraits, these reset after each reload. This isn't the case when I moved the mobile conversation buttons from the left to right. Those have stayed put. Not sure if there was a way to keep the portraits from resetting in modern HUD mode
I just finished playing BGEE with this mod installed.
The problems I've encountered so far are:
1 Changed options are reset every time you start up (font size, autopause settings, etc.)
2 All character screen displays are not working. I'm playing in Japanese so I thought that might be the problem (when I change it to English it seems to work)
Seems to be the same issue with the Chinese player in the previous post.
Things are going slowly onward. Released version v0.93 with skins for most major screens (inventory, record, mage, priest). I will get to the reported issues later.
@Pecca I can’t remember if this has already been asked or discussed—apologies in case—but do you plan on restoring the decorated capital letters at least for the English language?

Also as you can see above the EEex bars shows up in the right bottom corner.

I tried it without success. Also tried a lot of different settings but can't make it work.
I came here to report the same thing. The helm of infravision has that problem.
