== Managing the Interface ==
The following commands can be entered in the chat interface to save and load customised UI layouts.
* Basic Save/Load UI:
** Typing /saveui will save the current layout to a file called UI-Default.txt in the folder with your preferences.
** Type /loadui loads that layout from UI-Default.txt. 
* Saving/Loading multiple UI layouts:
** If you specify a filename with /saveui it will save the layout to a specific txt file by the same name: [filename].txt
** If you specify a filename with /loadui it will attempt to load your layout from [filename].txt
** Example: /saveui awesomemelee would create a file named awesomemelee.txt which you could then load using /loadui awesomemelee
* Advanced Feature: Auto UI
** /saveautoui - Save your layout in a file specific to your character and resolution.
** If you change resolution while logged on that character, the game will attempt to load the layout you saved with /saveautoui.
** It is possible to perform a save for each resolution you would like to use while playing that character, and the game will automatically switch between those resolutions. There is a /loadautoui command to force a load if it does not load automatically.
=== Sharing UI Layouts ===
* UI files are saved in the same location as screenshots ( \\MyDocuments\Asheron's Call )
* You can make fine tuned adjustments by editing in notepad.
* Simply place shared files in the same location and load using the chat commands in game.
=== Decal Plugins ===
See also: Plugins
* Virindi Window Tool gives you the option to save/load layouts with a User Interface rather than chat commands. Saves the location of AC panels as well as Decal Plugins. 
* Provides the "AC Old UI" option that forces the panels to assume their original positions, as well as move/adjust the screen as you use them. [Example]
* If you capture a layout with AC Old UI enabled it will only affect plugins and the floating chat windows
* VWT comes with the Virindi Tank Bundle
