Description
I welcome feedback in my released thread or my portal page!

Version 1.0.1
Fixed a bug where the left secondary hotbar still used the default UI graphics.

Fixed the bug where the crafting utility bag and diplo container in the character window were broken with this mod installed.

Version 1.0.0
Just a bunch or replacement graphics for the default vanguard hotkey bars, bag bar, lag meter, and main menu.
Note on the gfx version number
Because of the number of times I've had to update all my files for minor graphics changes, I'm now including a graphics number in the version. If you use several of my mods and I update every file with a graphics patch and nothing else (only the graphics part of the version number goes up, not the rest) then installing the patch for any one of those mods you use will update them all. So instead of downloading 6 files and installing them all, you would only have to do 1. Just trying to be helpful.

To install:

If you have never installed a Vanguard mod before:

1. Locate and open your Vanguard directory. (This is by default C:\Program Files\Sony\Vanguard)
2. In that directory, find and open the folder named "VGUIAssets"
3. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Shells"
4. Unzip the entire zip file into the shells directory. (You should have a folder called "Mothers" inside your shells directory when you are done.)
5. Go back to your Vanguard directory from step 1
6. In that directory, find and open the folder named "bin"
7. In that directory, find and open the file called "vgclient.ini" (just double click it and it should open with notepad.)
8. Find the part of the file that looks like:
Code:
[UI]
ShellName=Default
ValidateXML=False
9. Change the ShellName line as follows:
Code:
[UI]
ShellName=Mothers
ValidateXML=False
10. Launch Vanguard and enjoy!

If you have installed other Mother's UIs for Vanguard:

1. Locate and open your Vanguard directory. (This is by default C:\Program Files\Sony\Vanguard)
2. In that directory, find and open the folder named "VGUIAssets"
3. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Shells"
4. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Mothers"
5. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Textures"
6. Copy from the zip file the two files with names beginning with "mothers_widgets" and place them in the skins folder you just opened.
7. Go back up one level to the "Mothers" folder.
8. In that directory, find and open the folder named "Windows"
9. Look in that folder for 10 files named "VGUIHotkeys_HotbarLeft.xml", "VGUIHotkeys_HotbarLeftSecondary.xml", "VGUIHotkeys_HotbarRight.xml", "VGUIHotkeys_HotbarRightSecondary.xml", "VGUIHotkeys_HotbarRightSide.xml", "VGUIMainBar_Containers.xml", "VGUIMainBar_Hotkeys.xml", "VGUIMainBar_LagMeter.xml", "VGUIMainBar_MainMenu.xml", and "VGUIMainBar_WindowController.xml".
9a. If those files exists, overwrite them with the same-named file from the zip file. This is the only modified file. Congratulations, you are done. Launch Vanguard and enjoy!
9b. If that file does not exist, copy all the files that start with "VGUI_PlayerStatus" from the zip file into the folder you are now in.
10. Go back up to the "Mothers" folder.
11. Open the "Index.xml" file with notepad. (You'll probably have to right-click and choose "Open With" to do so.)
12. Find the line that reads:
Code:
 <GameplayWindows directory="Windows">
13. Immediately after that line, add the following 11 lines:
Code:
  <Window filename="VGUIHotkeys_HotbarLeft.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIHotkeys_HotbarLeftSecondary.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIHotkeys_HotbarRight.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIHotkeys_HotbarRightSecondary.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIHotkeys_HotbarRightSide.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIMainBar_Containers.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIMainBar_Forms.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIMainBar_Hotkeys.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIMainBar_LagMeter.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIMainBar_MainMenu.xml"/>
  <Window filename="VGUIMainBar_WindowController.xml"/>
14. Find the lines that read: (probably above the place you are editting)
Code:
          <Window filename="VGUIHotkeys.xml"/>
        <Window filename="VGUIMainBar.xml"/>
15. Delete those two entire lines.
16. Load and play Vanguard.
