Title: Simple mod to 0.5.00 'Elves' GUI
Post by: Xoel on December 01, 2009, 02:57:30 am

Hey everyone, fiddled about in Photoshop with the new Elves GUI today. I personally was having trouble with the chat window not really flashing enough for my poor eyesight to see and hence I didn't know when to change to see Whispers etc... So after using simple colour splatting to find the correct part of the skin, I slapped the leaf you all see in 0.4.03's Elves GUI on there, and it's now much easier to see "flashing" tabs.

I didn't change the credits on my skin as it was such a minor change for those of us that love the original 0.5.0 skin (which rocks and looks so fresh and modern!!) but wanted the chat tabs to flash a little more. Maybe also those players feeling a little nostalgic for the 0.4 leaves :P

Anywhere here is the download link:

Paste that into the art/skins folder in your 0.5 install and it should work magic :)

Chat tabs that change colour or get "highlighted" instead of blinking are already implemented. It might be in the next update of the pre-release.

I like the idea with the background leaf. Now it is really obvious that something happened. Well thought!

Thanks for feedback.

@weltall: I hope my skin works with the new highlighting system.

it will but you won't see the leaves probably as they will be substituited
