Enchanted Elves skin (Elves v2 modifications and fixes)

[redhound]

Hello, fellow planeshifters!

The default Elves v2 skin are not ideal, you know... But I like it's style, and now gathering some modifications in a derivate skin "Enchanted Elves" (formerly "Red Elves"). Some features are experimental and a subject of a personal taste. So, any suggestions, critics, ideas and some advice is highy welcomed! Fell free to reuse modified skin parts in your work also.

Updated 25 dec 2014: New version available! This new version contains fixes to use Enchanted Elves with PlaneShift 0.6.3 release.

Installation is trivial: place skin package enchanted_elves.zip to /art/skins in PlaneShift folder and select a new skin in a launcher.

Screenshots (done with older versions of PS client / skin, but most things are fine):

New version of "Red Elves" custom skin is available. See first post to download link and screenshots.

Major changes it this version:

Skill window:

• Added extra width to skill value column to prevent partial hiding of values - and maybe, it need even more!
• Few extra items in a skill list, so more skills are visible at once.
• Filter button moved to the left of "X" in a window title.
• Removed useless tab buttons attachments and fixed tab button misplacement.
• Description textbox and skill list are same width.
• Experience bar height set equal to stamina bars.
• Reduced window borders - window now more compact.

Buddy & Ignore windows:

• Added button to open Ignore window from Buddy.
• Minimalistic buttons style.
• No maximum height and width for both Buddy and Ignore.
• Make Ignore window more like Buddy (same button placement, style, window behaviour, etc.)
• Added tooltips for buttons.

Active magic window:

• Debuff list are not resizable anymore and resizing of buff list is more predictable (no need to use PROPORTIONAL anchoring). Reason: I don't most people not theyr chars would feel comfortable with a wide list of active debuffs, so I hope that having 4-5 items in a debuff list is a sane value. Minimum window width are same with Buddy window, to simplify stacking. No maximum height and width for a window.

Inventory & Small inventory:

• "Switch to small / full inventory" buttons moved to the left of "X", which is more common and recognizable.

Cursor:

• New cursor based on classic cursor and eye icon from "Elves" art.
• A small collection of cursors from various skins are in "cursors" folder inside extras.zip

Info window:

• Colors of all bars reverted to base from "Elves"
