Some minor cosmetic bugs with the new PDA/Station style

Jul 01, 2006 greengeek link
Liking the new PDA/Station interface so far. Need to get used to the layout again.

My display settings:
1280x800 32bit

Some little cosmetic bugs:

1. All sections of the main "Commerce" tab cause the main display area to overlap the "Current Ship/Status" display and Launch button. The other main tabs do not exhibit this behavior. Occurs in both Windowed and Full Screen mode.

2. Equipment -> Sell tab. The "Station Cargo" header (which isn't really needed, I think) should be the darker "background" color, not the "list background" color, and vertically centered.

I'll keep an eye out for other things that seem odd. Looking good so far. Let me know if a screenshot would better help illustrate any of the above.

Overlaps occur because of font scaling. I normally keep font scaling at 0.75, and things overlap. If I turn off font scaling, it gets all better.

Somethings a bit off in the way the "Equipment" and "Your PDA" tabs are scaled compared to the "Commerce" tab.

They seem to stretch the whole image instead of just the pixels in the middle. This doesn't seem to matter with the default skin but messes up mine quite a bit. Cause I can't get the outline as thin as the rest of the UI.

mr_spuck, can you give me a screenshot of what you mean? I can try to fix it then.

I'll fix the Launch buttonarea overlapping the Commodities tabs, too.

I'll also check out what happens when the font is scaled.

okay:

this the current commerce tab and it looks like it used to in the pda (I haven't updated the images yet):

this is the equipment tab. it's oddly stretched:

and erm .. you can see something else that's weird, I forgot to mention. That huge ass circle in the 3d view used to be a thin border around it. haven't checked yet if I can fix that in the skin

This is the tab image replaced with one that has exactly the same dimensions as the original but with a 1px red border around it. Even there it gets stretched oddly although the commerce tab looks ok.

Ah I see.
It's because the commerce tab is initialized with the sel image and the other two tabs are initialized with the unsel image. Do your sel and unse images have the same dimensions? Maybe I messed up the stretch coords between sel and unsel.

I fixed the image behind the ship view. It was stretching the entire image evenly instead of splitting it down the middle.
