On-screen editor
Move and resize views by dragging them over the game, with snapping.
With the window open, every view is outlined on the game screen. The selected view is highlighted in cyan with its name, position and size in percent; the others show a thin outline with their name. A yellow bar along the bottom edge shows where the HUD is.
Select a view
Click a view on the screen to select it. Its tab opens on the Layout page. A click without dragging only selects; it never changes anything.
Move a view
Drag the inside of a view. It moves live, and the game follows smoothly.
Resize a view
Drag an edge or a corner. While you drag, only the outline changes. The new size is applied when you release the mouse.
Snapping
Edges stick when they come close to:
- the edges and the middle of the game window,
- the edges of your physical monitors,
- the edges of the other views,
- the left and right edges of the HUD,
- where your screens meet, if you use Eyefinity or Surround.
A pink line shows what the view snapped to. Hold Alt while dragging to place a view freely.
Positions and sizes
Positions and sizes are percentages of the game window:
- Left
0 %is the left edge of the window,100 %the right edge. - Top
0 %is the top edge, and larger values move the view down.
Views stay inside the window while you drag them. Overlapping views are allowed; the game draws both.
