That's great and all, but I can't see any substanatial difference between Obsidian Blue and Obsidian Green and the normal skin. Except the invisible scrollbars (which would probably degrade usability...)

Is it the transparency? I dunno.

well obsidian blue is obsidian green but its blue instead there aint supposed to be much of a difference and ill update obsidian green and slap the new scroll bars in there aswell :)

no one likes it :(

Well, I LIKE it, Spidey...

You have to sell me on why it's a better interface. How does it make gameplay better?

Remember I haven't done SHIT for Vendetta UI except some photoshop mockups 2 years ago... so it's easy for me to critique since I don't know what's possible and what's not.

Maybe I should make a call to the HQ and see if I can take a crack at it. Then you can critique my interface, OK?

:)

Not much is possible. Just slapping new pics on the same old shit.

You miss the point of skins, Leber. :p

The interface can be modified to an extent, but not with skins. The interface elements are made and positioned with Lua/iup, and they use images from the skin you're using.

Well then I suppose that in order to make real improvements, we'd need to get into Lua in order to move, resize and reorganize the interface elements.

Otherwise we're just "putting lipstick on a pig" as the saying goes.

Can we change the font for the interface?
Can we add headers and/or other identifying graphics for the different areas?
Can we have options to hide/show or expand/collapse different areas?
Can we assign command keys for these functions?

Stuff like that is what I'd consider important.
