in the stuff folder, there are html pages, and folders called 'ddtabmenufiles' and 'dropdowntabs' containing inside css files. To customize you need a good understanding of css and html.

For example ? .css file

...
  background; rgb(148,0,255);
...
legend {
  color; rgb(255,255,120);
  font-family; Old English Text MT;
...

set colors and fonts - the two main issues here ??

yeah. Just like that. In the html page, I had:

<link href="ddtabmenufiles/overlap.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<div class="ddoverlap">
<ul>
<li class="selected"><a href="Home.html" title="Home"><span>Home</span></a></li>
<li><a href="Draw.html" title="Draw"><span>Draw</span></a></li>
<li><a href="Edit.html" title="Edit"><span>Edit</span></a></li>
<li><a href="View.html" title="View"><span>View</span></a></li>
<li><a href="Utilities.html" title="Utilities"><span>Utilities</span></a></li>
<li><a href="Dialog.html" title="Dialogs"><span>Dialogs</span></a></li>
<li><a href="Help.html" title="Help"><span>Help</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<br style="clear; left;" />

What plugins were you thinking?
I probably can't add any of Fredo 6's amazing plugins - I scaned throughout the files and found no words like "UI::Toolbar.new "FredoScale" as you would expect to find.
I will put some updated/different/new plugins in the next update.

Does anyone want a color change?

I'd vote for that. More neutral background so the focus shifts to the buttons - not the background.
And a single font for the whole UI - preferable a sans-serif as they read better in smaller size on screen. Gothic is a brute type that is not very readable on any medium.

With some minor changes like that to calm the UI down it looks like a useful tool.

Is it customizable?

What do you mean? You must have windows for this plugin. Also, make sure you have the additional scripts from google's sketchup page, third - this plugin must be in the regular plugins folder, not in "compatibility" files. Tell me any issues you are having.

I haven't got that figured out, but eventually it will be.

Nice tool display. It incorporates something I am trying to do in ruby. When I have several entities selected, how can I create a group of the selected entities? I know how to do it with this tool but how do I push the "Make Group" button programmatically using a ruby plugin? Can't find a send_action that works. ToolsInDialog appears to be doing it in the code somewhere.

I guess you would have to call the method 'groupin', and luckily i dont think file referencing is needed it this case because ruby inherits every loaded method name on starting the application.
