Good luck with you conversion DrJones, its a lovely UI - I use the widescreen version in SH3
.
You could have a look at my Ui-Boat v2.2 mod, Most of what you will need to do for the MaGui Mod is done in mine (Same principles etc).
Mine is also based on achiving a Sh3 type user interface. The only difference you will have to account for is that SH5 is a walkabout environment, so you won't have one static page that changes depending on the station you wish two switch too.
Best of luck DrJones
