Ahh, yes, it works perfectly now! Thanks much!

No worries! It works perfectly in battle, but when I access the Skills screen from the Main Menu, the first two skills and the HP/SP meters overlap one another. I'm assuming an adjustment to the y value should fix that right up?

Hmm... I keep getting this error screen whenever I try to access the Skills menu, in or out of battle.

Thank you thank you thank you Forever Zer0!!! It works wonderfully. Would there be any chance that you could alter Window_Skill to work the same way??? Pretty please??

I'm having a little trouble editing the item window. I want to make it so the in-battle item menu is only one column and the items are listed only vertically, with the window itself shrunk to fit. However, I've been toying with it for a while and can't seem to make it work just right. I usually get one of two problems.

Either a) the items won't list in just one column and you can see a little of the next column (but it's cut off)

or b) only half of the items the party has will display and the descriptions don't match.

Here's the script I'm using. It's just the standard Window_Item script with my own edits on lines 100-112.

Below is how I would like it, ideally. That is, if all of the items were displayed and the descriptions matched.

Thanks to anyone who can help and/or fix this!!

(Also, sorry if there is someone who has done this already. I checked the forum and couldn't find anything. Sorry if I over-looked it.)
