[Menu Skins] The Wicked Series (6 colours, meaner than Mean)

[[-z-]]

Or we can all ignore the problem.

Of course I don't expect that everyone likes my works, and I am very thankful for suggetions. And I am sorry if I made the impression to consider yours insulting, because I don't.

What you see and everyone else sees are not always the same thing. You want to try and hit the widest range of people you can within a respective realm of interest, in this case, usability.

True to some extend. But because the skin is basicly the first thing a (new) player sees from the game, it needs to look good first. And the plastic one doesn't, in my opinion.

Maybe a short explanation about the selected map background colour:

Every Wicked skin has got an "action colour". For example, Red has 0.75 0 0 (A bit darken than pure red). I used this colour for everything activated; activated buttons, radio buttons, checkboxes, colour and crosshair selection and names in the credits.

And in Black and in White, the action colour is ... white. So the selected map background colour needs to be white as well, for the style to stay consistent throughout the series.

Thinking about it, this could be a solution (or a good feature in general): A new tab in the Settings menu with a list of all available skins (maybe even with a preview). This would make it as easy as possible to change the skin in real time, and to choose the one you like best, without having to search for them and using the console.

That sev... is a great idea.

It's good, you added dirt in your logos.
This way they stay recognizable, but don't look too clean.

I'd like it if the website would look this way.

From what i get its not that easy/practical to get a list of files/directories from the engine (due to security measures).. thats a problem for making a extra tab to select the skin.

And i like Z's idea but maybe a thing inbetween would be nice. While Z's is almost to vibrant the currently used (in svn) wickedblack is too low contrast..

[KillaGrunt]

Maybe thats because its supposed to be black
