Buttons to the left?

[Druthlen]

I want my shortcut buttons to the left... lets take traits from 3.5

If its on the right it automatically shortens the list.
If its on the left it overlaps and looks hideous and doesn't function correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

I have tried offsetting the list and that doesn't seem to work. It seems that list will spread out over all of the frame regardless of any setting I put on it.

sorry for being such a newbie. Good news is I am making good progress on the VtM ruleset. If I could figure this out....


<frame_char name="traitframe">
<anchored position="insidebottomleft" offset="29,20">

You’ll need to read up on anchoring and relative anchoring. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Developer_Guide_-_Rulesets_-_Interface#Anchoring

But, in the above XML you post, the control positions are built from the right to the left (using relative anchoring on right side of each control and a "rightanchor" control). So try moving the XML of the "shortcut" control to after the XML of the "name" control.

Thank you so much!!
