Just wanted to inform everyone interested in this topic, that the next big upgrade for our menus is in the making
I will implement many additional options & cvars, restructure the whole menu once again, introduce tabs navigation for the several submenus, add icons for tooltips, make some easy setting options (set all gfx to low/med/high with 1 button) like requested in this thread, extend & debug the comments & tooltips, restructure the *.ufo files internally for easier debugging & will also try first experiments to upgrade & enhance our background graphics, icons & UI-graphics & bring some nice colors & maybe even higher resoltions into our menus...
Also I want to take a look @ the possibility of 3d animations in the background of our menus (like used for 'Credits')
That is the plan @ least
Feel free to tell me via this thread what you like & definitely do NOT want to see, as I am in the process of implementing all of that above & should be finished within the next few weeks...
I simply feel for the next versions of our game we need a more modern & upgraded version for the menus & UI also, as players should feel that v2.4+ is a massive upgrade compared to previous versions from the first second the game starts...
