Pecca, while I really wish you still had the desire to take this mod as far as you had originally envisioned.... you are still, by FAR, the best game in town for your particular niche, and the biggest reason while I still play these games.....
Could you please tell me how the NPC panel works? Is it a separate panel that requires a click, or is it a setting in the portrait panel? Because the settings I've set don't seem to be working...
Not sure if this would happen in vanilla, as I have spell revisions and scs installed, but I am able to remove items from the inventories of characters under the maze effect
As I said this windows is skinned (you can see bg1 skin of cheat menu in screenshots in the OP).
What game, what other mods do you have, can you give me a screenshot?
Does anyine else have this issue?
For me it looks like that. I have heavily modded EET, so yeah, that's probably some mod issue.
Okay that is Improved Cheat Menu of Reveal Hidden Gameplay Options Mod. I send a pull request with button skin fixes. It will be in the next release of that mod.

There are 2 components of this mechanic.
NPC panel is separate panel, you allow it by selecting a key that opens it in UI++ settings. You can customize it by clicking NPC bar settings button on gameplay screen (next to settings button with head icon). If you select option "selected creature only" you must hover over creature and hit the selected key to open single panel for selected creature. If you don't select this option, you see panel with all creature nearby. You can also see spell effects affecting creatures with round timers if you allow the options in NPC bar settings window.
PC effects is another component, you must allow it in UI++ settings. It will show current effects on your party memmbers next o their portraits with round timers (same as NPC effects). You can also click on the effect icon to see the spell description.
Originally, you could right-click the creature in NPC bar to display additional info about it, including items, however, this feature is bugged and I have not been able to figure it out, it only works on my old copy, back when I was developing it. I'm not currently actively trying to solve this, maybe in the future.
However maybe the biggest problem of this entire feature is, as was already mentioned by someone, it may cause the entire game to slow down. I have not tested it much, I was just exploring the potential, so really don't know if the feature is viable in the long run at all, or if it is possible to optimize it somehow. It runs on EEex functions, and I have not delved very deep into EEex myself.
I'm not complaining but just a reminder. Magical Helmet descriptions are garbled and the modern UI text screen no longer makes character portraits disappear like it did up to version .9 of the mod. The issue with the helmet descriptions started to happen after you released version V.9. The issue with the text popup no longer making character portraits disappear started around .93 I believe. Pictures of both of these problems have been provided within this thread previously.

BTW, the new skins looks great. Good job.
Cannot reproduce the helmet images bug. Are you using other mods? Are all helmet description images corrupted, and only helmet images? This mod is not touching item images, but it is possible another mod is using the same PVRZ numeric series as I do (34000+), so they become incompatible.
I'm not sure what "modern UI text screen no longer makes character portraits disappear" means. Can you explain that?
When you talk to people, the text box opens up and the interface disappears, but after release .93 all character portraits remain on screen when the text box is opened up for conversation.
Here is what it should look like.
Here is what it looks like since release .93
As for the garbled helmet pictures, It's only magical helmet's that are garbled. It didn't start happening until after release 9.0. If I install infinity UI versions before that point they display fine. I'm using EET with SCS, EEEX, EEfix pack, CD Tweaks and a bunch of quest mods like loretakers, gorgan's eye ect.
I've been using this mod since you first released it and I've upgraded it every time there is an update. I had zero problems until version 9.0. If I download Infinity UI .81 beta from github it works flawlessly on the same install. If I install .9 or later it breaks the helmets and upgrading to version .94 or later will break the character portraits during conversation. These are minor issues but I would love to see them fixed. Unfortunately, I don't have any clue what is causing the problems for me. My mod installation has remained the same, it's the different versions of infinity UI that cause these problems. It's possible that the mods I'm using didn't cause problems with Infinity UI .81 and earlier but do cause problems with .9 and later. If that is the case, I'm not sure which mods would be causing the issues.

Released new version with some fixes. @noTime666 by complete accident I just released fixes for 16:10 ratio and messagebox because I was experimenting with my tablet.
Pecca, is it possible to add more portraits to the starting selection screen? And if so, how do I do this, which file is responsible?
and btw,
Could you add compatibility for the NWN in BG2 and IWD in EET Mods, so that their respective campaigns are shown on the starting screen?
You mean add custom portraits to the portrait picker screen? Same as in non-moded version, just put it in portraits folder. This mod only adds a feature for custom portraits, that if you name it starting with "f#" or "m#", they will only appear when respective gender is selected. Otherwise they will apeear in both lists.
I tried the Reflections of destiny and Faces of good and evil portrait packs on BG1 and they don't show.
I also noticed that Imoens BG2 portrait is missing on the selection screen.
Are those portraits in portraits folder? If not it is likely in the override and updating portraits list in bgee.lua. InfinityUI overrides portraits list in UI.menu though. If that is the case then either put the portraits in the portraits folder or update portraits list in ui.menu (line 287) with the added portraits based on the list in bgee.lua.
Reflections are copied into the portraits folder, Faces of good and evil into override. Tried some custom portraits too, which didn't work either in the portraits folder.
I'll check the menu file and see how it goes.
Pressing F5 (thief skill) messes up my UI, is it some key binding that InfinityUI adds? I had the same problem on DragonspearUI.
Can I disable this key binding somehow?

I think UI Edit Mode uses F5 to save the layout. If you installed "Reveal Hidden Gameplay Options" "Enable UI Edit Mode" component, then you should be able to disable this in Gameplay Options. Else maybe in some config file!?
Apologies if this is already covered, but its difficult to search across just 1 thread in here, and google hasn't been helpful...
I've got an EET install with this mod, and it seems to work for the most part, but there's a couple related issues. I have odd unexpected effect icons to the left of portraits, redundant to inside, and the descriptions are missing data. any idea whats doing this?
Edit ...
OK, I found I can turn this off in ++ settings, but why does it show effects I don't think I have and why is there missing data? Does this have anything to do with the mysterious -1 to str half my party seems to inexplicably have? I havent' come close to encountering undead/drain yet.
Hello @Pecca !
In the main menu, in the campaign selection area the SoA and ToB icons are reversed when using the IWDEE, BGEE or BG2EE themes. The Dragonspear theme works OK.

Can confirm about the helmets:

I can live with these buttons, but I do need my logs.
Edit: I've figured it out. Modern HUD had to be activated. And the log box is called "messagebox".

It should be here near the bottom. If your menu doesn't look like this then something went wrong with the install I'd guess.
Maybe I used to have it in the past and Baldur.lua remembers my old settings.
