I've got three skins in the works, two I've previewed here. My newest is a lighter colour and as such there are lots of problems appearing with the text. These mainly seem to be due to some shadowing of the text I have so far been unable to remove from editing the xml files, which makes the text rather harder to read than it should be. On the darker backgrounds you don't see the shadow as it merges into the dark background so all is fine.

I hope to have these three skins, as ready as I can get them, for release in the next week or two. No doubt there will be comments made about them which will cause me to adjust them after this point.

I'm really pleased with them so far, so be kind when you get a hold of them.

If you look in Planeshift/data/gui/styles.xml you will see some of the fonts are defined like:   <font name="/planeshift/data/ttf/scurlock.ttf" r="250" g="250" b="250" size="14" scalefont="no" shadow="yes" /> others say shadow="no".

I'm guessing you saw that and it hasn't helped?

I have seen that file but even with everything I've done I'm still baffled with how some of the UI stuff works, I'll play more with it at home tonight maybe I'll find the right option.

So... Great News Everybody!

The art and tweaking for my two skins is close to finished. I'm about to ship it out to some people I know to test it and give feed back on the themes. Once I hear back I'll be posting them here for you lot to use.

Can I suggest that you make the /study window re-sizable if you haven't already? For that matter most of the windows can benefit from that possibility.

I could add resizeable="yes" to most windows but ones such as the quest window get messed up by just adding that option. You have to anchor each button, piece of text, and subwindow to regions of the main window and even then they may not scale very well. I don't have the motivation to spend that much time.

But I will add the study window option for you as that's easy :)
