in the skins/xui/en-us folder the top line of the floater_inventory file reads at the end
can_minimize-"false"
Each patch after modding it goes back to false instead of true. I'm sure many residents would like to be able to minimize inventory, especially during a search.
The map and other windows can be minimized by default, why isn't inventory set this way? During an update would take someone 5 seconds to change it to "true" as the default.
