I made a mockup for a gui skin, not sure if i'll actually make it, but i thought i'd share anyway. It doesn't work too well in real life, since the tabs need to be much taller (unless there's a way to change text positioning?) and the background tiles instead of stretching.

feel free to use the icon for anything :P

Looks nice and clean. To change the background tiling and tab dimensions, I THINK they are hard coded and that you'd have to edit the source, but I could be wrong.
I like the simple and clean look.

FischKopF | 2010-07-13 08:58

its looks clean and beautiful. i like the new logo cause it looks like the old one (but even BETTER!!)
would be cool if you make this into a real skin.

RaZgRiZ | 2010-07-13 10:51

very nice! this is a definite 10 from me, assuming the svn would be changed accordingly for this theme! (lower position for the tab titles, changed default colors for guitext and the such which are white)

Scnd101 | 2010-07-13 23:32

thanks, and yeah, would be cool if the changes makes it to svn :). font color shouldn't be a problem though since they're just a bitmap

Suicizer | 2010-07-13 10:58

i really like the skin too! the icon looks just like the old one, wich is way much better then the icon thats in now. the orange trim at the sides of the gui is looking nice either.

10/10 for me!

RaZgRiZ | 2010-07-13 12:27

offtopic: you keep using "either" in the wrong place

"i don't like this, and i don't like that either" don't like this, don't like that
"i like neither" negative for both
"i like this and i like that too" like both

pretty simple, use it :P

Looking good. Very clean and sharp. Well defined, unlike the current "grungy" menu design.

I know the Sauerbraten logo colour is orange, but the way the orange is used on your GUI makes it look a bit plasticky, almost like it belongs in Sandbox. I think what accentuates this is the white in the center which while using a pixel art style interface would look great, would look a little off with Sauerbraten's blur-o-riffic menus and bordery text.

What I see is what I will rate however. I will give it 9/10, only due to the fact that the edges of the white area could be cleaned up a little, to make it look like it's actually inside the orange.

Scnd101 | 2010-07-13 23:27

yeah, it does become pretty blurry. No hope of that getting fixed in svn?

the white is actually intended to be on top of the orange, will try to adjust the shadow a bit though.

i like it, work out the kinks and release it.

Calinou | 2010-07-16 16:40

That's what Sandbox said. :P
You can do it easily in Sandbox, but not in Sauer... Lot of great feautres don't get included.

Question for Q009:
In Sauerbraten enhaced, you managed to create a single, stretched background on startup instead of a tiled one. Scnd101 also mentioned that he would like to know how you did it. So, how did you get it to happen?

Thanks.

Q009 | 2010-07-16 21:36

i modifed the code ofcourse

Suicizer | 2010-07-17 00:03

lol! nice response xD!

Architekt | 2010-07-17 01:15

I thought so. What I wanted to know though was where, exactly, is the command that loads the background in a tiled format. I have some decent experience with cubescript, but anything else (C++ and all that jazz) is beyond me as of right now.

FischKopF | 2010-07-29 11:22

i made an .ico file for windows of your icon:

i hope you make this a skin.

paulbhartzog | 2010-08-29 02:41

Anything ever happen with this?

I love gui customization and have changed my Sauerbraten about as much as possible so far :-D
There's always room for a little more, though ;-)

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-08-29 12:01

I could make something similar :)

xmanlx | 2010-09-08 18:16

I'm making a gui skin from this the picture, but it'll take some time making it big enough for sauer. 10/10 ;)

Awek | 2010-09-11 09:58

Nice skin 10/10 ;)

You say "feel free to use the icon"... I will use the nice icon for my sauerbraten skin. Can you upload the icon in a bigger resolution please?

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-09-11 16:18

use illistrator and live trace it :0

@ edit

Here I did it

Awek | 2010-09-12 10:45

Thank you for the work, but the picture is not in a bigger resolution...

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-09-12 20:26

what do u need in a bigger res? The screenshot or the screenshot2? i did the logo, what else do you need?

My logo is double the size of the res you need (512x512) so you should be able to make the full logo with it :0

Awek | 2010-09-13 18:30

Sorry it was my blemish. I mean it so... I will use the icon not only as icon but also as logo in the game. Instead of the old cube logo. I hope you understand what I mean :D (I am not english) So it´s a lot to small.
But the icon you have changed for me will be also used ;)

greeting Awek

Calinou | 2010-09-11 12:02

He's dead... He never reply to the comments.

FischKopF | 2010-09-11 22:29

are u sure?

Calinou | 2010-09-12 09:06

No, but that's what I think. =P

Awek | 2010-09-13 18:31

that is very bad...

Windecker | 2010-09-13 23:29

Not everything should be taken literally.

xmanlx | 2010-09-14 17:19

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ao222o0ryn94wrg/Sauergui.zip I made a skin and slider but it's not very good.

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-09-14 20:06

Try working with a texture rather than just a solid color. You can use the current png and overlay it with a texture with an alpha so that it does not look so cartoonish :)

chasester

FischKopF | 2010-09-15 13:41

But its supposed to look like that? I think it looks good.

Chasester_aka_you | 2010-09-16 04:18

Does not quite fit Cubes look (more of a scifi) it would work more for a game like tf2

FischKopF | 2010-09-16 11:41

wtf, cube doesn't have any theme at all the theme looks very good.

ransom subject | 2010-09-16 07:22

i agree with chasester, but overall its really good ^-^ . and just so you guys know i have an upcoming map based on the water temple in "zelda: ocorina of time" just the theme is gonna be kinda the same but not the exact map . ransom (>^^)>
