Green buttons can be clicked (red buttons as well -- you will get them only in rare situations, though), the grey button is your currently active character.

If you have the "Builder class character", then you probably have Bob's Character Classes active. That mod provides alternative characters -- but it doesn't change their graphics, it's about other differences. Hint: Open your crafting menu (<CTRL>+<E>) and count the available inventory slots, then change to another character and count slots again. :-)

You should be able to hide the window by pressing the button labeled "Appearance" above it. In version 0.0.14, the GUI would be closed if any character button had been clicked. Personally, I think it's quite a nuisance if I have to re-open dialogues again just because I dared to press a button. Therefore, I've made the new behavior (you've to press the "Appearance" button in order to toggle the list) as a feature. Basically, all that was involved was adding a condition test in just one line. It wouldn't be hard to add another setting to change the behavior. (Only I feel a bit bad about requesting yet another French translation of just one string.)

Hope this helps a bit. I'm not really an expert regarding GUI design. I made it in a way that I believed to be obvious and intuitive -- but I didn't have a chance to test it on other people before uploading ...

pressing "Appearance" button doesnt hide window :( i tried it before and again today ... there is no way for me to hide it
GUI looks ok and is in right place just cant hide it plus also when i play alone and with no other character changing mods and never change my character i dont think i need another button "Appearance" at all so that would be cool if there was a setting to hide it completly ( i got a real lot of buttons there already ... ) this is a minor thing tho
also i read your answer again and you say i could click that grey window and then change my character so when i click on it nothing happen at all too plus i think it would be quite a cheat to be able to change that character at anytime not just at start like with only bob but is another minor stuff to me

tbh im only interested in making my character small :) other stuff seems nice and its cool you doing it and idea of having one mod to integrate all other shape changing mods and make it easy to pickup what you need seems really nice too just im so simple i just need make my character small nothing less nothing more :)

The next version is almost done. Just found another thing I needed to fix (settings of the personal roboport should be kept), some more testing, and once the missing strings for the French localization have arrived, I guess I could upload. I've made a setting that the GUI will auto-close once a button has been pressed. Also, as discussed here, there'll be a setting to disable the character selector altogether if you don't need it.
