More Menu Skins October 12, 2010, 06:43:13 pm I would like to continue creating new menu skins, as we did at the old forum therefore here it is a new one called Murrine. Quote Selected Last Edit: October 12, 2010, 08:58:34 pm by IgorEliezer
Re: More Menu Skins Reply #1 – October 12, 2010, 07:36:22 pm Nice. Especially the little left-right arrows for the values in the new world dialog are great. May I use them for a different skin in the future - if I ever get to make it?Just one small "problem": in bigger windows, like in depots for example, it looks a little... empty with such a simple one-color-only background.Oh and you should also include a button graphic for the sticky-feature for the windows.

That's why I usually use plain colors or transparency.Quote from: DirrrtyDirk – on October 12, 2010, 07:36:22 pmOh and you should also include a button graphic for the sticky-feature for the windows.It was made before the sticky feature was available but I take note..

If there is any type of graphic for the background, it needs to be with very little contrast, but IMO it makes bigger areas of background a little nicer to behold. Almost anything can be better than just a monotonous area of one color to have in front of one's eyes. But, hey different people, different preferences, no problem.

Anyway, now since there is a sticky feature in the game (at least in the nightlies - before anybody asks), not having a button for it leaves an ugly gap. Oh and BTW scrollbars are now better customizable, too.

Re: More Menu Skins Reply #5 – October 13, 2010, 02:19:56 pm But be careful: the version in svn uses the same graphics for horizontal scroll bars and for not-activated buttons. But one can (of course) and should use different graphics for both. Quote Selected
