  • Edits every AstralUI and AstralAuras setting, plus a pile of other plugins and the game's HUD layout, with a search across all of them
  • Layout Studio: every plugin element and the game HUD on one screen sized canvas. Drag, snap, pin things to each other, align, mirror, swap, and see how the game will draw it before you apply
