Vanilla UI Expanded

This mod was my personal project for a very long time, so the code was written spread out over about a year, so not all of it is up to my current standards. As well, there have been many issues pointed out that I wish to resolve. So my plan is to rewrite the mod from the ground up, with a few focuses:
1. Ensure each section (module) can be toggled independently. So if you just want the overlays, or just the architect stuff, that will work.
2. Make the overlays more performance friendly. This one is actually already done.
3. Make the architect system more resilient. The current way it is done is incredibly versatile, but liable to break with mods that do nonstandard things. I aim to keep that system, but add a way to use a less versatile but more resilient method. Technical Information: The way it is currently done is by saving a record of the gizmo structure of the architect menu, then letting you edit that and then writing that to the menu itself. This lets you basically edit it however you want, but is not at all what is intended by the game. In the future, I want to improve this mode but also add a new one that works like Tab Sorter, where you can simply choose the category and dropdown for items.
4. Update all UIs and displays to be more consistent with vanilla. First, there's a new general standard of UI style that the game now has, so I want to make sure I follow it. Second, I want the search boxes to be consistent with the ones in vanilla. Of course, other things may come up.
5. Use new 1.4 features. A few 1.4 features replace ones from this mod and a few offer new possibilities. For example, the dev mode module of this mod is completely overshadowed by the updates to dev mode in 1.4 unless I can come up with something else that needs doing. In addition, there seems to be some sort of float menu grid in the game now, which I will have to investigate. Also, the new painting system has it's own grid in the architect menu, which could be an interesting possibility to explore there.

Vanilla UI Expanded is a brand new addition to the Vanilla Expanded collection, this time around bringing some important quality of life features regarding the interface of RimWorld. We’re very well aware that there are many UI mods out there, by the likes of RimHUD, Numbers etc. Our goal was never to replace them - instead, we focused on additions that no one has added before.

Vanilla UI Expanded allows for an incredible depth of customization for the UI, including creating new Architect tabs on the go, grouping gizmos and buttons together etc. You can finally clean up your architect tab so that you no longer have the whole screen covered by all the amazing furniture added by your 600 mods.

Check out the wiki[github.com] for more information and guides on how to use all the features.

We are not aware of any issues at this time. If any issues arise, please make sure to leave a comment and attach a Hugslib log. You can obtain it by downloading a mod called Hugslib, loading it at the very top of the mod load order, going to dev console and pressing the green Share Logs button.
