    So, now that I have some time on my hands again I've been trying to get my mods back up to date, especially the more popular ones like Commander HUD, ProfilePic+, and Custom Unit Names. A major component of the updates for most of my mods is rewriting the settings code to work with the new settings menu and not use the now dead :( settings manager. But the stock settings API only supports sliders and drop downs.

    I was wondering if you think it would be useful to have a new settings mod that adds the additional components needed by mods like buttons, text boxes, and divs for custom controls. If there's actually a need here I'd be happy to write the mod but I'd love to have a volunteer or two to help with testing and code reading to find the best way to hook in.

    Hm, that looks like a good start but the biggest thing that's needed is more setting types and that mod doesn't add any. I'll post something on that thread though and maybe we can get that mod updated to fill the need.
