Title: Enchanted Elves skin (Elves v2 modifications and fixes)
Post by: redhound on February 14, 2013, 07:23:28 pm

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 (https://github.com/roman-yagodin/PlaneShift.EnchantedElves/issues)! Fell free to reuse modified skin parts in your work also.

Updated 25 dec 2014: New version available! (https://github.com/roman-yagodin/PlaneShift.EnchantedElves/releases) 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):

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"
