nevermind, I was able to edit better hotbar to work with this mod.
There are still these black boxes behind the temporary (until long rest) condition icons that I can't figure out how to get rid of. Is this something that better hotbar 2 adds? here's a photo of what I mean
Found how to remove the gradient behind the condition/ status icons. It is sadly in the HotBar.xaml (Public\Game\GUI\Widgets) at the "StatusPanel". I removed line 1206 - 1213 (from the HotBar.xaml in Patch5_Hotfix5.pak), the whole rectangle block, works fine.
Obliviously introduces problems with mods that modify that file, dyor on that.
Did you "compact" your Hotbar yourself or is it some version of Better Hotbar 2? Interesting combat log + turn indicator location, but where is the round start/end button?
I compacted it myself by just commenting out blocks of code I wasn't interested in and adjusting margins to reposition other items in the hotbar.xaml file you mentioned.
The logic behind the button is still in there but all code elements that place it within the UI were removed, this basically allows the hotkey to function without displaying anything in the UI.
Thank you, just fyi, it looks like you are using the HotBar.xaml from the Game.pak, currently the newest one is in the Patch5_Hotfix5.pak. Just noticed it recently after trying out the Index function of the BG3-Modders-Multitool and edited my first post after that. There are some small changes, which you can copy by comparing the HotBar.xaml from the Game.pak with the one from the Patch without needing to redo all your changes. Edit: I'm curious, did you change the formatting of the HotBar.xaml yourself? Or is the extracting tool that does a different formating to the .xaml file? (For example, I used the previously mentioned Multitool to extract the file, it formats the .xaml file differently, so that comparing them isn't really working out for me right now)

Caveat that I have no idea how the margin modifications I made will work at different resolutions.
