My gui design so far

[BlackDogSpark]

Firstly warning 1680 x 1050 images Shot1 and Shot2 So there is my work so far. It is still unfinished. The skill window is partly based on nikos skillwindow mod

[Shaman]

Wow, that's amazing.

[Peanuts]

Oh, I like that a lot!   It's so clean looking.

[Caarrie]

it is nice but very busy, if it was not so busy it might be nice to use.

[NirAntae]

It's very pretty, but I kindof agree with Caarrie.  At the very least, you should tone down the background contrast, so it isn't bright bright white in one spot and very dark grey in the other...  like, light grey to mid grey, maybe.  That would do a lot to tone down the 'too busy' feel.

[Beniel]

I also agree with Caarie and NirAntae, it's really nice to look at but I don't think I could live with using it.

[BlackDogSpark]

Yes the bg really didn't come out perfect and I have actually changed that now. The new one is more even and "calm" I'll pos some new screenie, when I can.

EDIT: New screenie I also considered following shot2 I dont think i'll make too much changes for this skin anymore. Have to see the next one when I first get this finished...

[Beniel]

I actually don't really see a huge difference when I compare the old and new screenies...but it doesn't really matter as the more I see this GUi the better I like it.

My only quiblle with it now is that everything seems to be floating in the air (for example all the items in the inventory!), do you reckon it might look better with borders? Or have you tried that already?

[geloren]

like most of the replies already told... i agree that the first screenshots where to busy. I guess the main reason why people are moving from the GUI's that are currently delivered by default in PS is the same... to busy.

Second screens where better, though i'd recommend to use a more plain background. I'm using the paper&glass GUI now, and it's a more calm impression in the long run. Just my thought.

Anyway... you did a great job. I'm thinking about leaving the paper and glass GUi for yours when it's released.

greetz, and keep up the good work!

I haven't yet made any "slot" boarders for those inventory items. I think I'll try some bevel effect for those. As for the BG that is something I wont change on this skin anymore I'll make something more simple on my next skin, when the time comes.

[ThomPhoenix]

That's some nice work you did there! Keep at it!

Made some testing with different BG and here is my inventory:

it looks nice, but i would keep the coins the same as the originals.
