This mod, and a collection of Aether's other mods are currently being maintained by Magnetuning (hi) and Aimryax! You can find a list of mods we're maintaining, and their Patch 8 update status here.
This mod has been updated for Patch 8!
(Or, most versions of it have. Still need to test the alternate versions, but the original version without the Party Portrait and Minimap variations works! (Magnetuning speaking here))
This mod is an all-in-one option to download all of my contextual UI tweaks at the same time. It makes multiple pieces of the user interface contextual, so they only show up when needed, rather than always being on screen. You can also toggle the UI on by entering turn based mode.
Does not, and likely will never support controllers.
Action Bar
Use turn based mode to customize the placement of icons on the action bar.
Combat Log Button
Dialogue Buttons
(Actually, I need to restore the last two functions of the dialog button tweaks. Currently the Patch 7 version only makes the buttons contextual; it doesn't move them 😅 (Again, Magnetuning speaking here))
Mini-Map
Party Portraits
Use turn based mode to edit the order of the portraits.

DESCRIPTION
This mod is an all-in-one option to download all of my contextual UI tweaks at the same time. It makes multiple pieces of the user interface contextual, so they only show up when needed, rather than always being on screen. You can also toggle the UI on by entering turn based mode.
Does not, and likely will never support controllers.
Action Bar
- Makes the action bar contextual, so that it will only appear when hovered over with your mouse, or if it is the turn of a character you can control.
Use turn based mode to customize the placement of icons on the action bar.
Combat Log Button
- Makes the combat log toggle button contextual, so that it will only appear if your mouse hovers over the UI element at the bottom right of the screen. The actual combat log will function as normal. Simply toggle it on and off with the toggle button.
Dialogue Buttons
- Makes the Game Menu, Change Characters, History, Trade, Attack, and Poll buttons contextual, so that they will only appear if you hover over them.
- Moves the Trade button to a separate line above the other buttons, and makes it contextual so that it will only appear if you are able to trade with the NPC you are speaking to.
- Moves the Attack button to a separate line above the other buttons, and makes it contextual so that it will only appear if you are able to attack the NPC you are speaking to.
(Actually, I need to restore the last two functions of the dialog button tweaks. Currently the Patch 7 version only makes the buttons contextual; it doesn't move them 😅 (Again, Magnetuning speaking here))
Mini-Map
- Makes the mini-map contextual, so that it will only appear when hovered over with your mouse, or if it is the turn of a character you can control.
Party Portraits
- Makes the party portraits contextual, so that they will only appear when hovered over with your mouse, or if it is the turn of a character you can
control.
Use turn based mode to edit the order of the portraits.
Variations
- Contextual Party Portrait Buttons - Instead of making the entire portrait bar contextual, it only makes the buttons surrounding the portraits contextual.
- Contextual Mini-Map Buttons - Instead of making the mini-map entirely contextual, it only makes the buttons surrounding it contextual.
