Customizable interface??

[Goon]

No. But the source code is available, so if you really want to, you can make your own. Also, keep in mind that wings is designed for an efficient workflow. While it has its flaws, it does what it does very well, and you would probably be better off conforming to wings than trying to make it fit you.

I agree... for the most part, once you have a defined set of hotkey's, and learn to use them, then most of the time, as in say perhaps 90 % of the time, you don't require the menu's, or as you are suggesting, buttons on the ui.... just hit those hotkeys and go go go... just you and your model... nothing getting in the way

Silo is same same, in that once you bind those hotkeys then turn them buttons off and model away...

I can tell you that I recall using buttons etc, and not really getting into the whole hotkey thing, but... after reading so many post's whereby the good members here always hinted on how they use hotkeys, I finally gave it a go... I have never looked back... like it is just so easy and quick to model with hotkeys, that I wondered why I didn't do it sooner... truly it only takes a short period of time to set them up and get friendly with em... like within a day you will be surprised with just how well you remember them, and how much your modeling will improve speedwise...

It would be nice if Wings had the same method of hotkey assigning as found in Silo, and the ability to save such, as in the case with Silo... I mean this would be so handy in setting up other buddies with same, or in the eventuality that all systems grind to a halt and ya find yourself doing the ole format routine, then yea, it would be nice to simply load the file and go... but...

Wings3d is a freebie, and thus for the little effort it takes to set things up, well, you have a very powerful box modeler to model with eh... too cool :)

oh i agree that it is a great application.. I just think its pretty cool to be able to change the look of the interface.. Kinda makes me feel more attached to it.. I don't want to change anything about the program itself, just the way it looks.. not that it looks bad, but i guess im just the type to that likes to change things around.. I love wings, and i think it is a great program, just like to make it more personal if you know what i mean...

You can resize windows and add more geometry windows too. (Not much of a change.)

Also, you can change the colour for most of the application in preferences.

Small changes, but may help you get more comfortable. :D

[Xtrude]

yes indeed, most colors for the ui can be user defined, infact you can even make the menu's transparent color of your choice if ya wish... :)
