Compact UI

Description
Ever annoyed that UI literally takes up 1/3 of your screen? Then this mod is for you! Finally, you can see character's legs!

This mod is an experiment to make UI more compact, now it is split into two corners, squad list and orders are moved up. It still can be big, but only at late game and probably mostly useful for solo playthroughs. Additionally changes character editor background.

If you want more transparent version of UI, you may change Kenshi_UI-more_transparent_beta.png to Kenshi_UI.png in mod's folder.

Made for 1920x1080. Isn't compatible with most other UI mods.

Known issues:
1) Can't use mouse on UI elements under Squad and Jobs panels. You will have to turn off tutorials. The reason is probably that all widgets are blocking mouse. I'm not sure if it can be fixed.
2) Can't use mouse to move characters in zones of those panels. Same as previous, you will have to get used to it for now, I guess.
3) Some UI elements are overlaping.
4) No full transparent version and dark ui version. (Now there is: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3142884217&searchtext=compact+ui)

@Ubisoft Ibehard I'd love to see your mod uploaded, if its usable

I have also relaunched kenshi 100s of times editing that one file messing with stuff... never uploaded my UI cause I stole too much from other people's UI mods. I am also surprised at the lack of UI mods though considering how "easy" it is.

@Schizophrenic Cat-Lon, I am honestly kind of surprised literally no one tried that before me. That was not too hard, took a day or so.

@Schizophrenic Cat-Lon I am indeed a programmer now, a 2 year experienced gamedev in Unreal Engine 5, but in this case, I didn't know not the programs not the code language itself, I just messed with numbers in random file to see what would happen to game, lol. Maybe I've had to relaunch Kenshi for that for a couple of 100 times.

From one modder to another, how did you pull this off?
This is very complicated code-wise, any yet you only have 1 Change Note.
Was there a lot of trail and error beforehand, or a program used to align everything?
That is very impressive.

@Flutterrock probably only in Kenshi 2 :D

Loving this mod so much, it is a huge improvement on the original UI! -The only thing that could make it better would be an option (or version) with the UI elements changed to semi-transparent, like in Has a Name's "Translucent Vanilla UI". -I don't suppose there is any hope for that to be added in the future?
