Hi Hopki and all,

First of, I'm hugely excited about the new VR skins and editor. This comes in exactly on time for me as I now have an Oculus Quest 2 since not even a week! Fantastic.

I did a quick test, just to see it in action. From what I see there are only hotspots on opening a tour, but there is a floating button above my head that I can click to open up a thumbnail menu.

This button is nothing but a small black square (watching on Oculus via Airlink, via Firefox browser, opened up in VR). I also cannot find this button in the skin. No way to style it, givie it text or anything. This is the same in both the Feather and Venis VR skin.

I did find I can add more elements (like a button to exit VR) and they all show once the black square is pressed to open up visual menu items.

I would like the idea to build a small floating 'dashboard' with buttons, like 'open thumbnails' or 'open map' and next/previous buttons. Ideally this floating 'dachboard' could be open (visible) or able to toggle with a button.

How would I go about this? So: in the VR skin editor: how to style the 'open menu' button and how to add (floating) menu's that stay visible?

This is a huge step in my opinion, congratulations on version 7, I already love it!

regards, Frank

One addition: I viewed it yesterday as local output, which shows only a black square for the 'Open VR menu' button. I tried uploading it today and in the live version I can see it's actually a white circle with three stripes in it.

I still cannot figure out where to go and style/change this button though. Where can I do this?

And how can I have floating elements that are already visible on initial view?

regards, Frank

Hello Hopki,

Ok, good to know. But is it at all possible (or requested) to add elements to he VR skin that are visible by default? Right now I think everything I add disappears 'behind' the button?

Hi Frank,
Knowing the flood of requests we are getting for V7 I would suggest putting this in an e-mail.
Add as much detail as possible.
We can then add to the list.
If it's sent into support, it will be a support ticket and logged.
Facebook and Forum posts can quickly get lost.
