Container UI Tweak 2 (Wider, Customizable)

Description
A modification of the Container UI Tweak mod which opens inventory and container windows away from the center of the screen. This version opens them further than the original mod, neatly fitting crafting windows between them without overlap. This makes clicking and dragging items between the far windows a little harder, but most inventory management can be done by Shift+Clicking instead.

Unfortunately, I've only been able to find one inventory UI value which can be easily changed. This won't allow you to custom position all inventory/crafting windows. But because it's a really common complaint that we can't save the positions of windows, I'd expect we'll get that feature soon and hopefully make this mod obselete.

------------CUSTOMIZATION-------------
------------------------------------------------

To customize the width, you'll need to install the mod manually:

1. Unsubscribe through steam workshop
2. Download the mod here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxFRWOv002fnU09lR3hLWWx5Um8/view?usp=sharing
3. Install by moving the "ContainerUITweak2" folder into your mods folder (by default, at "Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\mods")
4. Open "interface.config.patch" in a text editor and change the value labled "value". Vanilla is 4, the original mod used 250, this mod defaults to 400.
5. Save and run starbound. Using the little gear at the bottom right of the main menu, make sure this mod is installed, and that other versions of the mod (both the original, and the workshop version of this edit) are uninstalled.
6. If it works well for you, coming back and rating it will help others find it d(゚ー゚@)

I'm getting the inventory window still right over the center and changing the value just moves the container window's distance from center. Anyone have any ideas?

Can we get a fix? Mod's broken and it'd be real nice.

+1 to saaadel's comment below...

If you follow the instructions on the base Container UI customization page, but rename the "/displayCenteredWindowGap" attribute to "/bringAdjacentWindowGap", those instructions work.

Thanks saaadel for pointing that out, works great!

PLZ UPDATE MOD

Change for following content in "interface.config.patch" to work with new version of Starbound (>1.3), and It will work - the attribute has been renamed:
[
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/bringAdjacentWindowGap",
"value": 400
}
]

Agreed. It's like these mods might as well not exist now.

Both versions no longer work in 1.1. I hope you're able to update because the container behavior in the base game still stinks.

On 1440x900 the windows open almost off screen. =/
