Glass and paper gui skin

[Hrothbert]

Thanks alot I got it to work finally but I had to move each item from the 'data' folder in the unzipped skin to the 'data' folder in the root directory seperatly or else it just replaces the folder, DOn't matter it works now and I like to the look of it. very clean and large chat window is nice.

Thanks so much yet again

Greetings,

A small update on GP radical version. Just to make it more... radical.

Changes:
 - Removed most of the window borders & headers
 - Changed toolbar appearance & button order
 - Opened windows' buttons now disappear from the toolbar
 - Re-designed the spellbook
 - Shrunk the chat window icons a bit
 - many font size & colour fixes
 - Fixed minor positioning errors in questbook and petitions
 - Fixed multiple buttons that used title bar graphic as bg image
 - Changed the layout on some of the small cluttered windows (eg. container & char description)
 - Made a new background for readbook (Unfortunately the borders can't be removed, as X is the only way to close)
 - Shrunk the glyphs window a bit


Download:
The files are same as before.

GP_radical.zip

Install:
- Download GP_radical.zip to your PS/art/skins.
- Extract the data/ subdirectory from the zip.
- Copy the xml files there to your PS/data/gui/ directory. (Be sure to take backups!)
- Copy the marker2.dds from GP_radical.zip/effects/ into your PS/art/effects/ directory. (Optional, makes the target marker look different.)

Thanks for your interest,

Ya sure change it just as I figure out the other one!!

This is even better than the other radical skin, I like the look of the changed target highlighter, and an actual spell 'book' Very nice.

Greetings,

Aye, your interest actually sparked mine, and I've started working on this mod again. So it's heavily under development.
Latest screenshot that shows a little what kind of style I'm steering towards. Basically taking away all the distractions, minimizing text, and using icons instead. I'm also thinking of more context-sensitive window backdrops, instead of a single forced style. I know it's a big job, but like the spellbook on earlier screenshots, it could go towards immersing the player into the world.

Thanks,
