== Adding a Custom Window ==
To add a custom window, you can create a custom class inspired by `WindowFavorites.cs`. Once you have your class ready, you can create a new window like so by copying the Favorites window and removing the attached WindowFavorites component, replacing it with your own.

Let's say we want to add a new window for religions : 

<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp" line="1">
var canvasWindows = GameObject.Find("/Canvas/CanvasWindows");
var favWindow = GameObject.Find("/Canvas/CanvasWindows/WindowFavorites");
 
// clone the favorite window
var religionWindow = Instantiate(favWindow);
religionWindow.gameObject.name = "WindowReligion";
// remove the WindowFavorites class/component from your new window
Destroy(religionWindow.gameObject.GetComponent<WindowFavorites>());
// attach your own WindowReligion class/component here
religionWindow.gameObject.AddComponent<WindowReligion>();
// set the screen_id of the window, so you can open it from a button
religionWindow.gameObject.GetComponent<ScrollWindow>().screen_id = "religion";
// add the window to the canvas windows group 
religionWindow.gameObject.transform.parent = canvasWindows.transform;
// add the window id to the scrollwindows group, so you can open it from a button
ScrollWindow.allWindows.Add("religion", religionWindow.GetComponent<ScrollWindow>());
 
// change the window title
var religionTitle = GameObject.Find("/Canvas/CanvasWindows/WindowReligion/Background/Title");
Destroy(religionTitle.gameObject.GetComponent<LocalizedText>());
religionTitle.gameObject.GetComponent<Text>().text = "Religion";
</syntaxhighlight> 

Now you should be able to open this window from anywhere with <code>ScrollWindow.allWindows['religion'].clickShow();</code>
