Yes, it can be done, but as I said to the Moo-ster you need to do it with GUIEdit (program that lets you visually create and edit .wnd files). Trying to do this by editing the .wnd files in WordPad will kill you
I was planning on making a program like the Control Panel from RA2DZ which gives user access to some advanced functions again - maybe with that, we could offer users the option of normal command bar or sidebar, as all we would have to do is rename the relevant .wnd and .ini files to switch between the two before the game is run.
Its alonger term thing if we do it IMHO as it IS a lot of work - extensive editing too, to make sure everything appears in the right place.
Again, like I said, the idea really appealed to me, but the way the game is structured now meant that I came to much prefer it at the bottom.
If I can find the dependancy files, I'll throw GUIEdit your way Cannis - its a
very nice toy
Thats how I created the new Generals points menu.
