Coming Soon...

Scrolls aren\'t your only option - how about an ornate piece of wood to match the one you use for the stats?  You could then \"chisel out\" areas for text to scroll through in.  If its dark enough any text should show up fine.



Thats the best I could do in 4 minutes - lol - but thats what I was kinda thinking - ad your flare for style, and some borders tthat match the other parts of your gui and I think it\'ll look nice.  (this pic is obvioulsy bad - I only made it for an example of what I meant)

[BaurakSered]

my original intentions were to make it out of wood, but then I started working and I wasnt liking it. I wanted something that would look more natural. Something that doesnt scream \"LOOK AT ME IM A CHAT BOX!\" and thats when I started with the idea of the scroll. A scroll is meant to have text on it so it seemed right, and I like the way it looks so far. So i\'m not ready to give up on it quite yet.

Next object in the lineup is the Shortcuts menu. So far I\'m planning on making it match the infowindow(along with the rest of the skin) unless anybody else has a great idea?

Im already full of ideas for the next GUI, so the wooden chatbox might make a comeback afterall

Edit*

OK, here\'s the final chat box I solved the visibility issues and added the indicator that shows what chanel you\'re on

[Induane]

This is looking really good!  How much of the gui are you planning on revising?

[BaurakSered]

I plan on doing the whole thing. Most of it should be pretty simple from here, with a few exceptions. Unfortunately I havent had much time to work on it for a couple days, I Hope I can get the Shortcut menu and the main menu done tomorrow.

[Valbrandr]

yup things are just looking better and better.. as soon as your done (as I said before) ill be using it .

[Moogie]

With the way it\'s turning out, you might want to submit it to become officially implemented. Either way, I\'ll definitely be using it also. Kudos to you, good man.

[Ecolem]

Well done mate...just one suggestion though. If you happen to be in a light place, it might get hard to read the text that has no background (PP,FPS and time). Maybe you might want to have a black transparent background? (If you think i know what I\'m talking about i don\'t...ignore me if you think its a stupid idea )

Anywho, i\'ll be joining the group anyway and be using it... if you let us download it!

PS. Please let us download it

I was sleeping last night for the first time in way too long, and had alot of odd dreams - I had one that I was using your gui ingame, but the top buttons were done too.  I woke up and wrote down the stupid stuff because I\'m dumb like that sometimes.  Anyways I ended up writing this down

Top buttons = crystals like blue glass crystals with symbols behind them. Highlighted = brighter and selected = grayscaled.

probabily sounds lame.. but it might work if you want to try that - if not I\'ll take a stab at it and send you my results.

Here\'s what I have so-far for the Toolbar and the Shorcut menu.

Any thoughts?

I see my groffel in that pic

Great skin. Give us linkage >:|

Thumbs way way up for the shortcut menu :) I\'m not to sure about the main toolbar, however. In the active/open buttons, that white background glow doesn\'t quite work. One other thing that irks me a little is the Camera text - I think you\'re just using too narrow of a graphic for it, and having a black line of text among all the white is a little odd.

You also have this really lovely wooden texture for everything besides the chat window, which is of a much lighter tone, so I would personally change it around some.

[BaurakSered]

I threw in the white glow very last-minute because I had only done the inactive versions of the buttons, so actually those 3 are the only buttons with the white glow. The rest are still the regular old green when active. I just didnt want the screenshot to look weird so thats going to change. What I might do is make the gold circle turn silver when active or something to that effect.

Oh, yeah, Induane... I\'m going to try doing some crystal buttons like you said, maybe to give people another choice if they want it... Depends on how they turn out though.

[sesmi]

I..... think I love you 8o

When do you think it\'ll be finished?

[BaurakSered]

Well, I finished the Shortcut menu and the toolbar today, but I didnt get a chance to upload the new screenshot before coming to work

there are only 2-3 things left that should require special attention... the Inventory and Skill windows, and the popup buttons. The rest I could probably do in two days or so. So, by way of a rough estimate I would say 5-6 days. but 5 days is a long time when I only have 1-2 days in a week that I can work on it. so, in short, I have no idea when it will be done. Hopefully sooner than later.

it is amazing. just amazing...  would like to see the HP, MA, ST and XP wording made smaller so they don\'t hang over the crystal... and the Prog points could be moved to under the crystal buttons... but it is amazing.
