GUI - 2.2.3 dev gui revamp
SoulRipper:
Well, basically a window like that could be constructed the following way (see attachment). The process would be very similar to constructing a webpage. But in order for it to be convenient in use for the menu scripter, somebody would have to implement some function which would put together a menu like that after inputting the right parameters, or at least a script generator which would generate the necessary Code.
Either way, should i go and try to recreate at least the geoscape screen of the proposed new UI http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Proposals/New_UI using my modified style? Or should i put together some source files with which people could recreate my design themselves?
Because from what i understand, your stuck with the old GUI because the original creator of the new one dissapeared into the great void of the internets.
Now, regarding another matter. I almost forgot, but when i started playing around with with the GUI, the first things that i changed were the geoscape background and the map_sun.tga. If you like them i'd be happy to send them to you. (see second attachment)

BTAxis:
We do still need an image for the starry background. But it really needs to rotate with the Earth, so at the very least it should be bigger than it is. I'm not really sure what the plan for that is though.
SoulRipper:
Well, the way i create it is really fast and easy to use. So size doesn't matter, it can be as big as you need it to be. Also modyfing an existing star background to make it bigger is a piece of cake, so just say the word and it'll be done.
Mattn:
yes, please (re-)create the image - even if we don't have worked out how we will rotate the starfield with the earth yet.
but the sun is not needed, the sun is rendered and will be replaced soon (tm) with glsl shader stuff.
Winter:
Hi SoulRipper,
I like the idea of putting windows together with functions. Can anyone tell us how much time/effort it would take?
Also, your current design looks fine, but it won't work for the entire GUI -- for example some windows simply do not contain enough text to justify having a textbox centre. Could you also create a set for building these (probably smaller) windows such as time controls?
Please feel free to rip Blywulf's icons out of the proposal JPEGs, by the way, they should be salvageable and most of them were really good.
Regards,
Winter
