Navigate Panels and Scroll Lists in ESC-Based Menus
Understanding Panel Layouts
ESC provides lightweight UI panels and rectangles that mods use to organize information. These panels group related content and create visual hierarchy without cluttering the screen. When you open an ESC-compatible mod's menu, you're seeing these reusable layout pieces in action.
Interacting with Scroll Lists
Many mod menus display content in scrollable lists:
1. Hover over the list to see if a scrollbar appears
2. Scroll with your mouse wheel to move through entries
3. Click entries to select or interact with them
4. Drag the scrollbar directly for faster navigation
Scroll lists automatically handle long content that doesn't fit on screen, keeping menus compact and readable.
Panel Navigation Tips
- Panels often have borders or subtle backgrounds to separate sections
- Related buttons and text are grouped together within panels
- Multiple panels may be stacked or tabbed for organization
- Scroll lists inside panels maintain consistent styling with the rest of the interface
This standardized layout approach means once you learn one ESC-based mod's menu, others will feel familiar.
