	try MaxRibbon.ShowRibbon False catch() -- old max

	ComponentManager = (dotnetclass "Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager")
	try qatbar = ComponentManager.QuickAccessToolBar catch() -- old max
	try qatbar.IsVisible = false catch() -- old max
	try qatbar.IsMenuBarVisible = false catch() -- old max
	try ComponentManager.InfoCenterToolBar.MaxWidth = 0 catch() -- old max
	try ComponentManager.InfoCenterToolBar.MinWidth = 0 catch() -- old max
	case cui.getExpertMode() of (
		false: (
			cui.expertModeOn()
			trackbar.visible = false
			timeSlider.SetVisible false
			try qatbar.IsMenuBarVisible = false catch() -- old max
		)
		true: (
			cui.expertModeOff()
			trackbar.visible = true
			timeSlider.SetVisible true
			try qatbar.IsMenuBarVisible = true catch() -- old max
		)
	)
)

I’d like to replace the menu button ‘max icon’ and the main file/edit/tools bar based on what I would choose.

JokerMartini, I suggest you to move discussion about Removing max UI to new thread and talk about another max wishlist in existing thread.

Maxscript IDE Wishlist?

Some great concepts for code editing https://vimeo.com/36579366 from Bret Victor. I like the value sliders.

Instant Feedback like in Light Table

Built in named CSS colors values for UI & Maxscript Code http://www.colors.commutercreative.com/grid/

Some HTML & CSS for UI ? Or a Browser Canvas?

F11 for Maxscript Listener like in the main window.

Node.js connection for remote controll (telnet or websocket).

THIS one

Well, I am the optimist in did!
Is there any plugin to multi rename textures?
I mean BOTH in mat slot and HDD drive?
So, the path should stay correct after runing the script.
EDIT
please look at this
http://www.oferz.com/maxscripts.php
Set Bitmap Parameters
but I do not know to use BITMAP name parametar with strings!
is that what I need?

This is a brilliant video. I wish Maxscript/other languages worked like this.

play with simple manipulator. it’s more interesting than geo plug-in
and skill of writing simple manipulators is much more useful.

I was initially thinking an actual leaf generator, one which would make geo. But then i figured most people use opacity maps anyways since its lighter…but usually takes long rather than actual geo.

Second was a cell tower because I’ve have to model a few of these and I didn’t have fun doing it .

I’ve love to get some ideas from the community I what they would find useful or fun as a challenge.
