  UI Manipulation

  • client.register_custom_tab(tab,container_id) - Make a custom UI tab. Please note, this is unsupported.

  Maybe this helps? It's on the functions page. But that being unsupported doesn't sound good

  Thanks, this sounds promising. Now I only need to figure out how to get the proper container ID, but this should be easy :-) I'll have a look at it once I'm home (in a couple of hours) and will post the result, in case somebody else is interested in tinkering with this.

  Please do report what you find. I'd like to use this as well.

  I did some testing and digging in the Nexus code. The bottom left panel seems to be marked as "container_2". However, it seems that simply running "client.register_custom_tab("Cool Tab",2)" or "client.register_custom_tab("Cool Tab","container_2")" does not work at all. I'm still digging, though.
  
  EDIT: Curious thing... The Nexus code has a function (line 310 in my downloaded file) that says:
  
  // Add custom elements if there are any
  
  ... followed by a function that looks like this:
  
  

  for (var i = 0; i < client.custom_elements.length; ++i)

              client_elements.push(client.custom_elements[i]);
  
  It would seem that there is such an option, but I cannot, at least now, figure out how to do this.
