Comparing to image above - gold and pause slots are well set (above one waste way too much space). Also backpack and ground have very nice border. Not talking about feel of playing old Baldur's Gate. For me it's perfectly made and polished version. But like people said, it's your UI and you give it shape. I will just save inventory from previous beta build.
@Etamin - Yeah, I think the plan is to have 3 different styles of inventory: Classic (Basic BG layout - recolored brown), enhanced (BG layout - above picture) and Custom Inventory (one of the design concepts). Inventory Options: 1. Classic, 2. Enhanced 3. Custom. This way everyone will be happy. Hopefully, lol.
Try to download another gui and check if it is working properly. And something more - my path is like this:
F:\Games\Baldur's Gate\Override
I tried using this structure and it worked! Strange how for some it works in 00766 and others it does not... Magevil, I love your skins, it actually makes the game feel more like an enhancement
I think that this one is the best one so far. The only thing that I personally dislike is those two 'weapon slots' sticking out. I think that one slot should be placed near helmet slot and the second one right before belt slot. God, I'm so happy that people like you exist in this world. Thank you
Inventory Design Concept 5 with Mosaic Art: @neoesprit whatcha think? I like the header art instead of the entire background art its much cleaner. The art on the whole background was too much.
@neoesprit - Thanks. The font is undecided at this point. I'm getting really close to a final concept design and then I will start putting it in motion for BETA 6.
@Magevil Setting the size to 1x1 is probably just as good as anything. If it's got a string that isn't generated by the engine you can try setting it to -1. I think moving it outside of the window would also work...
I like 5 with the art at the top. I prefer the inventory to be a box like that instead of a rectangle at the bottom but I really like the back ground on the current one too.
@Magevil Inventory screen concept 5 is by far my favorite! That is the one I want! I really like how you removed the unnecessary box from around the paper doll to give yourself more real estate to work with.
Edit: The only problem I foresee is if you use a background image with it. You will need to somehow blank it out from behind the doll or it will get lost in the background.
Yeah, I really think Design Concept 5 is the going to be the new design released with BETA 6.0. There will be 3 inventory options: Classic (BG Style Brown), Enhanced (BG Style - Inventory 2.0), Archaic Custom (Design Concept 5).

I'm dropping a vote for Inventory 2 because of the layout with the quick items and the quiver.. seems more.. natural to me.. No matter what though, they all look epic!
Edit since I didn't read everything first, silly me. The header art is FANTASTIC! No matter which design you use, the header art needs to be there! Not sure on the font though, but I can live with it.
Has anyone gone to see The Hobbit? I'm going to see it this Tuesday for my Girlfriend's birthday (her request). I've been listening to the 2 CD special edition soundtrack for a few days now while working on the mod. It sure has got me pumped to see the movie! If you're a big LOTR fan like myself The Hobbit soundtrack is epic. Please no spoilers if you've seen the movie.
@WabbitTwaks - I know the story but I'm not the only person that reads these forums...I'm trying to be considerate to the masses. Yes, I've read the series many times.
@Etamin - That is not possible there are longer strings that require the additional space. For instance when you try to move boo from Minsc quick slot. Thanks for your feedback.
@AK47 I've made 5 different inventory design concepts and the one I will be making is number 5. If you look back on the comments you will see the history of discussion on this topic. Here is an image of the 'Custom Archaic' Inventory coming soon: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/5664/inventoryconcept5.jpg
I will have 3 different designs available for the inventory: classic, enhanced, & custom.

Any ETA on beta 5.0 ?

You're a big LotR fan and do not already know the story of The Hobbit? Let me guess, a fan, but only of the movies?
What a great thread ! Great work, already BETA 6
Concerning the inventory, could you gather the different items around the character as in iwd2 inventory screen :

Might be some minor tweaks before actual release but this is pretty much it.
Also completely random.. if Imoen is a thief why is she in plate armor with a double handed sword? O.o (I know photoshop, but still LOL)
