If I have more rain check days like this - I might continue polishing the consept.

Nice to see, that someone is playing with modding gui. Maybe some ideas could be incorporated into base game?

Have you seen this? http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Proposals/New_UI

Maybe you could try to make such ui or use some ideas from it?

vitku:
Thanks for the link.

I think I saw that while skimming trough the wiki. "The new UI" is somewhat too trekkie for my taste. But I could make SVG:s for identical icons and similar color scheme - even if I stay with my 45 degree corners instead of round ones.

Are the UI component locations defined in code, or in property files?

Kildor:
UI layout is described in \ufoai\base\ufos\ui folder, it is scripted and can be altered without touching the source of the game.

vitku:
Made some icons in spirit of the new UI and some tweaks on icon positioning/hover.

I'm still pretty new to the .ufo's but they seem to be pretty easy to use. Are the constants like LAYOUTALIGN_RIGHT documented somewhere (no matches on wikisearch)?
