Modern UI Overhaoul WideScreen Edition

Description
This is a complete overhaul of how main screen looks adopted to 21:9 aspect ratio!

FOR 16:9 (1920x1080) USE THIS VERSION https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3042912286

You need to use dark UI/Transperent UI with this mod or any other skin for UI wich use same UI pattern (its differ from vanila)

First of all, im just a regular player who are not familiar with coding or drowing. Im playing with 2560x1080 resuluton on widescreen monitor and was annoyed with two major things. First of all - UI on 21:9 is just stretched horizontily.
I dig a lot into attemps of finding a solution for this and after a lot of lurking i find a mod which fix first problem. But it still have an ugly scrollbar if im having 2 raws of units.
A couple weeks further i find another mod, which moves some UI elements into another places and hide em. It gives me an idea thats its possible to change UI a lot!
So i went into learning how it works in passion to make a merge with those two mods. And in process of it i came up with a lot more changes to UI to make it even more clean and usefull.

Key features:
Now it have space for 16 units in one raw! Its already close to vanila squad limit. And with two raws you will see 32 units without any annoying scrollbar! So its more designed to play with medium or large teams.

Buttons for inv, map etc hided with side menu on a top left as i find it realy clever as i didnt use them at all in case of shortcuts.
Town menu hided in same way at right side. You dont need this info 99% of your time.
Jobs menu now at top Right corner to make more space for squad panel.
Order list now aligin horizontaly. Ranged button now last not in the middle.
Build, speed, money and time now at top left corner.
Small fix: time speed panel now smaller and same size as build button and info panel.


I didnt redraw any of the elements to fit them better new spots as mostly i made this mode for my own use. But if it will have a lot of feedback i will try to polish UI further.
And if a lot of people will want a 16:9 version for default screen aspect ratio i will try to make such version.

Another version:
one row edition (as for myself im playing with this): https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3038925491

Changelog:
v4 - huge update for jobs list!
- medic, rescure and prospect buttons moved to other buttons
- squad name tab size reduced from default 200px to 145. Now you can use 6 squads without problems.
- job list panel now tranparent! Its still exist even you dont have any jobs, sadly. but now screen looks even more cleen!
- job pannel now a bit larger.

So the main problem with job panel was thats its just a big black square on a screen. Before i made it a bit smaller horizontaly but its not comfortoble to reed long text names. And when you have a large jobs list on unit its uncomfortable to scrolll it (vanila problem).

But if just make this panel higher and wider, then it would LARGER AND HIGHER black square on screen, even with zero jobs (i realy hates how poor UI works).

So, current solution - i removed any backgroud from this panel and remove usless text 'to make job, just find a job', so now if you have 0 jobs, all this pannel would be transperent (see screenshots), Notice, that its still on a screen, so you cant click through it, but it makes screen MUCH more cleer. So it allows me to make all this panel bigger, so if your are playing with a long jobs lislts, its would be more comfort now.

Would this work on 1440x900 16:10?

@SCarverOrne i cant run game at 32:9 sadly, so i cant do this as all changes are just blind selections untill things looks fine. But you can still use this mod to have wide squad panel
