    You'd already have that info, as the plugin would be the one sending it. There's no way to get what CUI is currently displayed on the client that I am aware of, you can only send.

    Ok, how send new width to CUI panel?

    Simple default plugin config values
    Code:
            "ProgressBar": {
            "AnchorX": "Left",
            "AnchorY": "Bottom",
            "BackgroundColor": "0.2 0.75 0.2 1",
            "FadeOut": 0.0,
            "Height": 0.7,
            "Margin": "0 -0.05 0.1 0.01",
            "Width": 1
        },
    How can i send new BackgroundColor or Height value to change it, from plugin use ChatCommand or ConsoleCommand

    Destroy the old, and send the new as you sent the first one.

    If you aren't already storing the previous instance's name, you'll need to do that in order to destroy it. Most GUI plugins will have examples of this.

    Download what? If you mean send the CUI to the client, the you'd create it and send it like you did originally.

    DELPROTV, you should abstract the creation of your CUI to a reusable method, then use that to create the GUI initially. When you need to update it, destroy the existing CUI and then execute that same method to generate the CUI like you did initially, only this time with the new information/changes.

    Think of it like this...
    1. Create first CUI reflecting your current data, use a static name or store the name.
    2. Something happens that requires changing the CUI.
    3. Destroy the first CUI using it's name, start back at #1.
