Idea for redesigning interface

[Anonymous]

Lol, I wasn't defending myself and no I am not interested in doing any redesign, only a cut & paste visualization, as apart from college I have a life too

Nor did I say you were. Just was clarifying if misunderstood. -huggles- Though also stating again a lot of your suggestions can be done now in the edit to the .dds and .win files. If you ever so choose to do so. No need to wait on the Achat dev team there. The main exclusion would just be the Achat shop bit, the rest should be doable.

@ Concerto: My fail, I thought you wanted to show them in the interface.

-hugs hun- No not everyone can skin, it is what makes skinning in its own right an art. The image format Achat uses is .dds. The above links work for various graphic editors to allow importing,exporting,saving of .dds format so Achat will use it.

The .win files are structured files for window elements etc. Like where the graphics are to be placed, where a button might go, etc.
For example the below image is a edited .win file. Which pushes many of the originally floating buttons to the top. Its a rough example.

* zzz changed to state
* login/logout now occupy the same screen space
* Search / Character Editor now occupy the same screen space
* Removed maximize,help,exit for a future idea in other placements
* Pushed Settings (wrench) to the far left

Mostly just an example of what you can do with a edited .win file.

With more patience and more work a entirely new GUI interface can be designed by ANY user for Achat. Without requesting and/or waiting for the Achat dev team to get around to it. Of course this means working with ONLY current elements. As anything more would not have the applicable coding to link with. And would just be a empty element.

For the devs however I would suggest abandoning win and using xml.

-heh- Any is a catch all silly bean. Meaning that anyone in Achat can do it. Did not say anyone could do it effectively well . You can open a graphics editor, and a text editor just like you manage to open Achat. After that hunny you are on your own. -giggles- PLUS! skinning often does not require coding knowledge. For example editing Achats .dds and .win files, is simply just having a design sense. And knowing what does what.

Oh and just on a general to those viewing the above pic. I wanted to push settings and all that stuff into a menu that popped up when 'esc' was pressed. Yes yes would mean the lil wrench would go bye bye. Though I feel 'Messages' should be a neat lil mail icon over the text. So the wrench would be removed. Its contents etc placed into the 'esc' menu. Then 'Messages' would be converted to just a mail icon. Replacing the wrench icons place on the bar.

Talking about redesigning the interface:
would be nice to add “roleplay” to “favourites” in user profile. Lots of players write it in the “description” field, but adding it to the “favourites” will allow an effective search as well.

Thank you for warm welcome, Lover.

By the way, another “favourite” I'd recommend to add is “group” field

[Lover]

You're welcome Rambot.
Where do you want to add the group field?
