How to define Buttons, Labels and Lists in"SKSE\Plugins\MainMenuCustomizer.ini"?
Define names for elements you want to have in General section:
For starters, not all properties are required, only fill these you want to and remove the rest or set them to default values.
iX - Integer. Default: 0. Horizontal position on screen. sAnchor is used to calculate base position and iX is used to move according to it.
iY - Integer. Default: 0. Vertical position on screen. sAnchor is used to calculate base position and iY is used to move according to it.
sAnchor - Enum: left/right/top/down/left top/left down/right top/right down/center/center left/center right/center top/center down. Default: none. Used to calculate base position. For example, "right down" and iX = 70, iY = 100 will set X position to 70 pixels from right corner and Y to 100 pixels from bottom.
bVisible - true/false. Default: false. This option will let you show/hide elements.
sArt - Name of art file located in Interface\MainMenuCustomizer\. You need 3 files: "Name.dds", "NameOver.dds", "NamePress.dds" for button, but only "Name.dds" for list.
