Auto Toolbar
This mod automatically hides your Toolbar when it’s not in use,
squeezing a little bit more immersion without so much visual pollution on the screen all the time.

To make it reappear, simply change current slot or unlock the mouse cursor:

You can change in the configs the time it sits idle until it hides itself.
In the configs you can also change the effect to be a scale down instead. Or let both effects run.
This was tested and comproved to work with modded stat bars from:

I really feel like taking any damage should be enough to pull it up, at least a toggle in the config?
There is a couple issues with the Status Hud mod and also with Carry On mod
THANK YOU ive been wanting a mod like this for a while
Why I still see my health and hunger bar ? In your GIF they are hide too.
I think this mod has an incompatibility with the mod CarryOn since CarryOn adds it's own anchors to the toolbar, I tested it and the toolbar was not hiding or going down for me, I edited the config for CarryOn and restarted the game several times, nothing.

the mod works fine now, health and hunger no longer stay on screen quick restart fixed this, I really should have resterted the game first but yeah I didn't tried this first before commenting.
but yeah there's another thing, I found in mod configs folder autotoolbar.json and there's "HidePixels" setting which is set to 140 by default and changing it to 70 for example does what I wanted, I see bars but hotbar is hidden but the temporal stability gear becomes black, if there was a way to make it look normal when hotbar is hidden but bars still kept visible like this it would be perfect mod for me.

It's only fair, thanks for feedback! for me the mod works as intended so I don’t plan further changes!
really cool mod but not sure if I will keep using it in current state so here's things I would improve
first I would make the hotbar go behind the screen and only display bars on bottom of the screen, hotbar is really big and background isn't transparent but I don't need to see what I have in hand but bars are very important.
second option would make the bars display when they get low, like hunger, then would appear on screen, health could display when damaged or also when actively in combat, hunted by animals etc, that would also be better than the current mod does.
also not sure if vigor mod works well with this but yeah, I decided to play with vigor mod and sleepneed mod by slikkelas and the mod doesn't hide health and hunger bar for some reason, they stay where they are so I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior of this mod but all bars should go down but they don't while the modded bars go down just fine
.
Would be nice to have the toolbar have an option to pop up if you take damage or your hunger is low/empty

osayra thanks for sharing your fix for that! i was just about to comment about the same thing
the health and hunger bar do not go down, only the toolbar. not sure why.
restarting the game fixed it, strange.
Really nice mod! I have two things to add:
Thanks for the awesome mod, I always use these kinds of immersive hud mods.
Having the same issue as @Almushtary my hud looks exactly like the screenshots they posted.
I would also suggest being able to configure a few more variables, like levels of health and hunger at which the hud re-appears. Is it possible to change how fast it reappears?
I'm having a weird problem with the mod. It doesn't hide the health/satiety bars. They don't slide down at all. The only way I've found to get it to slide down is to delete the stuff in my ModData folder and restart the game. Then the mod works perfectly until the next time I close and reopen the game, at which point I have to delete ModData again.
Edit: Weirdly, the health/satiety bars start sliding down randomly after playing for a while. Then when I restart the client, the process starts over.
Edit 02: Now, randomly, the problem isn't happening. Not trying to pester you, just sharing feedback :)

I'm really excited about this mod! I was wishing for a mod that would automatically hide UI :)
Almushtary
Can you show a screenshot or something?
for whatever reason the interaction help info of tool bar items appear on upper left
the gear is ever so slightly visisble
Love your mods, they really UP the immersion to next level. Quick question, i use Xskills and my health and saturation is visible when the toolbar is hidden. I assume its because of the modified stats you get by getting certain perks in the mod, so i wanted to ask if there is a plan to make the mod compatible with xskills?
Nevermind, i installed few other mods and now it hides heatlh bar and hugner bar too!
SaltyWater
I meant the interaction info overlay (forgot the name). Might be a mod conflict from my end but will check later. Also would love an option to display certain status bars when they have a change (when you heal/take damage, when you are close to starving, when you are thristy from HoD or Balanced Thirst, and stamnia from Vigor). Thanks for the awesome mods! Wouldn't be the same without them :)
ManChrzan SaltyWater I wanted the same. If you go into the config of Auto Tool bar and set the Hide Pixels to 70 it keeps the bars visible. The temporal Gear looks a bit off but I can live with that. Maybe there will be a fix for the temporal gear down the line.
Im not sure if its supposed to work like that... But when having Vigor and Dehydration installed, its not showing me Tool bar when Stamina gets LOW or when im Thirsty or when im dying out of food, that goes along with taking damage as well... Seems like really cool mod but i will wait till its patched
Just to mention it is not exclusive to Client side, it will effect anyone on the server. Hoping that can be fixed in the future, as the config file doesn't load through ImGUI if it downloads off the server.
Great work as always Salty!

I didn't understand exactly?
And yes I can! I'll implement it!

Thanks Deca! <3
ManChrzan
hmmm I'll see about that 🤔

Thanks haha! Vigor's is in my 'never remove' modlist now. I've assured this one would work with it! Thanks for the mod! ^^
Wow, this is almost exactly what I was looking for, near perfect, but I'd love if there was a version or configuration that makes only the bar hidden and health, satiation and temporal stability would stay visible.
OMG! Another great mod from my favorite modder! I didn't know I needed it, now I can't play without it! Thank you so much for doing what you do!
SaltyWater Do you sleep!?! 1 banger mod after another.

The tool/item action(s) text appears on the top left instead of above the tool bar. Can you also bring the tool bar up when using numbers for selecting a hotbar slot?
