Ok. for example dragon warrior online. it goes like this
---------------------|
Screen |[Text][Browser][INFO!!!][Pager][Hub]
with |
pretty |
pictures |
---------------------|

And in other games that info box is not there!!! how is this done? how do you code this?

Ok now, i am wondering how you do that so if someone could please explain to me this code, i will be really greatfull.

Also, i would like to know how you put pictures inside the tab i called 'Stats' (obviously for status) and i am wondering how do i change the words HP into a picture. If your wondering my stat panel code goes like this:

mob
Stat()
statpanel("Stats")
stat("HP: [HP]/[MAXHP]")
stat("SP: [SP]/[MAXSP]")
stat("Atk: [attack]")
stat("Def: [defense]")
stat("Evd: [evade]")
stat("Lvl: [level]")
stat("Exp: [exp]/[expreq]")
stat("Coins: [wealth]")
return ..()

The info button only shows up if there isn't enough room to display the statpanels along with everything else. Then you can click that button to show the statpanels instead of something else (like the browser window or the text output window). Try resizing your window to be small and you'll see it come up automatically. There is no code to do this - it simply depends on how the DreamSeeker window is displayed on the client, which may be slightly different for each person.

The only way to get an icon in a statpanel is to stat an atom (area, turf, object or mob) that has an icon. The text next to the icon is that atom's name. So if you wanted to do that with HP, you would need to add a mob var that is an object called something like HPstat. Set its icon to whatever you wanted. Then in mob/Stat() you would want to set HPstat's name to the actual stat you want. Something like this:
mob
    Stat()
        statpanel("Stats")
        src.HPstat.name = "[HP]/[MAXHP]"
        stat(src.HPstat)
        ...

and so on.

alright my code goes like this
mob
Stat()
statpanel("Stats")
src.HPstat.name = "[HP]/[MAXHP]"
stat(src.HPstat)
stat("SP: [SP]/[MAXSP]")
stat("Atk: [attack]")
stat("Def: [defense]")
stat("Evd: [evade]")
stat("Lvl: [level]")
stat("Exp: [exp]/[expreq]")
stat("Coins: [wealth]")
return ..()

and i get an error like this

As I said, you need to add HPstat as a mob variable that is an obj.
mob
    var/obj/HPstat

ok uhhh just a sec here
this is selds cuz baal, and im still on his comp, and it seems that when i did what you said, it still wouldnt work plus characters wouldnt save and load anymore, but when i ditched it, it was all better. Now you either did a few typos or you suck at coding.

You can't set an obj variable's properties when you declare it. You can set the whole obj to something when declared, but not individual properties. So you have 2 choices. Either create a new type of obj with those properties already set, or set them in mob/New().

Method 1:
obj
    HPobj
        icon = 'chip2.dmi'
        icon_state = "hp"

mob
    var/obj/HPobj/HPstat

Method 2:
mob
    var/obj/HPstat

    New()
        src.HPstat.icon = 'chip2.dmi'
        src.HPstat.icon_state = "hp"
        . = ..()
