It does not work from a list. VikingOS walks the interface and offers everything it finds, so the pieces inside panels are adjustable and panels from other mods show up without VikingOS knowing they exist. How deep it looks is a setting.

A layout built at 4K comes back right at 1080p. Valheim measures every 16:9 screen as the same 1920×1080 interface units, and VikingOS stores your changes in those units.

It cooperates instead of overruling. Each change is stored as a difference from where the element already was. If another mod moved your hotbar, that is the starting point — and reset returns it to what your mods intended, not to vanilla. Your whole layout is one small file: delete it to start fresh, or send it to a friend.

Snapping is everywhere — edges and centres line up with the screen, other panels and VikingOS's widgets, with a gold rule showing what matched (Alt suspends it). Grids re-flow: narrow the hotbar and it wraps onto a second row. Stat bars widen without breaking: a wider health bar still grows when you eat. Scale and rotate happen about the centre, not the corner Valheim would swing them from.

Saved screens are complete screens, not patches — panels, widgets, metal colour, text sizes — so two presets always give two results, and your current layout is copied aside before every load. They are ordinary files in config/VikingOS/presets/.

⚠️ Moving another mod's interface can make that mod snap back, redraw in the wrong place or stop answering clicks. That is two things arranging one object, not a bug in either. Right-click puts it back; deleting your layout file undoes everything.

Worn gear leaves your bag, so the bag is for what you carry. An item that does not belong in a slot is refused, and anything Hall of Arms cannot place stays in your bag — nothing is ever dropped.

ᛊ What you wear gives — armour, carry weight, movement, eitr, and every resistance and weakness on one page.

ᚹ Wardrobe — give your helm, chest, legs or cape another item's look while the real one keeps its armour. Carry the item whose look you want and press Take the look; Hide puts a helm or cape out of sight; Clear shows what you wear. Everyone sees the look, with or without VikingOS.

ᛚ Loadouts — Raid, Hunt, Forge, Voyage, Feast. Keep remembers what you wear; Wear puts it back on from your inventory. A loadout never makes anything; it tells you what it could not find.

Jewelcrafting, Backpacks and BowsBeforeHoes get their slots when installed. Each mod still equips and draws its own items — Hall of Arms gives them a home, and honours Jewelcrafting's own Ring and Necklace slot settings.

Coming from AzuExtendedPlayerInventory? Remove it and play: the gear you wore in its slots moves into Hall of Arms the first time, every move written to the log. Keep it instead and VikingOS steps aside, only dressing AzuEPI's panel in oak and iron.

Emoji. The built-in set is Twemoji, with Google's Noto for the animated ones. Type :fi and suggestions pop up; type a full name and press space and it completes itself. Emoji show in the text over people's heads too, wide emotes draw wide, Emote Size makes them as big as you like, and hovering one shows it large.

GIF search is powered by KLIPY, its adult-content filter on its strictest setting by default — and on a server, the setting is the server's. It works with no setup on a shared key; if that allowance runs out, a free key of your own takes two minutes (below). Your game talks to KLIPY directly; the server relays only a short address, and nothing is saved to disk.

Server emotes are cached, so a rejoin costs nothing, and oversized GIFs are shrunk by the server instead of refused. When names collide: the server wins, then your own packs, then the built-ins.

The capitals fix removes vanilla's forced-case rewrite and nothing else. It happens on your machine, so it fixes messages from vanilla players too.

The window: log, input line and controls travel together; the history stays inside the box instead of spilling over the game; it pulls itself back on screen after a resolution change; the button row docks top, bottom or side.

A straight swap between two players has a moment where an item has left one pack and not yet reached the other — and a disconnect there is how gear gets lost. VikingOS never does that. The server takes both sides, and only then hands each of you the other's: your item is in exactly one place at every instant.

A partner who drops is noticed within seconds and the trade simply ends with nothing moved. A swap that went through waits for you at your next login, and a delivery that arrives twice is recognised rather than paid twice. Items arrive whole — quality, durability, crafter, and anything other mods attached.

Shared item cards are worked out on the reader's machine, so other mods' stat changes show through. The item never leaves your bag.

⚔️ Trading needs VikingOS on the server. Item cards need it on both ends.

The compass follows your camera, not your body, so it turns with the view; north is lit. It reads the same pin list the minimap reads, so a pin from a mod released tomorrow is on it too. Other players show as the map's red figure, and whatever you look towards names itself with its distance. Hide a pin type on the map and it hides here as well. Range, pin count, icon size and names are all settings.

The clock, compass and weight meter start lined up and stay lined up as you resize them; drag them anywhere while the cursor is free, and resize them by the gold grip.

Drop PNGs or GIFs into the emojipacks folder in VikingOS's config directory — the filename is the shortcode, so skol.png is :skol: — and restart. Yours outrank the built-ins.

Drop PNGs and GIFs into the emotes folder in VikingOS's config directory on the server, then run vikingos_emotereload or restart. Each player downloads what is missing once.

Make a free account at the KLIPY Partner Panel, create a platform under API Keys, and paste the key into Configuration Manager › VikingOS › 5 - Chat › GIF Search API Key. vikingos_gifcheck says what is wrong if it does not work.

Type vikingos_slots_unpack in the console (F5) — everything in the Hall of Arms moves into your bag, worn gear stays worn — then quit and remove the mod. Skip it and Valheim drops what was in the slots at your feet.
