guibounds
This command displays the file location of UI elements hovered over.
In-depth description
The guibounds command in Stellaris is a debug command, primarily intended for developers or those modding the game.
When you activate this command, it will display the file paths and the location of the user interface (UI) elements that your cursor hovers over in the game.
The main purpose of this command is to help you understand the structure and layout of the game's UI elements. Each button, icon, and interface element in Stellaris comes from a specific file within the game's directories.
If you're creating mods, troubleshooting, or simply want to understand how the game's UI works, this command can show you where each element originates from.
For instance, when you hover over a button on the game interface with the guibounds command active, the game may display something like: gfx/interface/button.dds. This tells you that the graphic for that button can be found in the interface folder, and the file is named button.dds.
