HERE ON THE STEX

so, the feedback has been good so far. thank you all.

i have a lot to do still, and im reaching out the community for input.

you can see where im going with it, so anyone that joins up know the direction version 1 is going.

3 next main projects and problems:

1. cleaning up the 'slides' (display screen)

2. changing default font colour, and the space behind it

3. new buttons

After reading the description, I became aware of the fact that you need artists for graphic components such as buttons. If you wanted, I could design some/all of the buttons for you. All I'd need to know is which buttons and the size for each one.

well you can make the buttons any way you want. you can change the shape, the colours.. anything. what you have to do is be very carefull about the spacing between them, and the button menu stems have to be modified to match.

i want to make them square.. that's my aim

Hej,

this is a great mod and if I can put my Penney worth's in, would it be possible to inset the buttons? It's been a real bug-bear of mine that the buttons stick out so far beyond the pole, as I like to keep the advisers panel open as much as I can during play (They are annoying and pesky but someone's got to listen to 'em ) so a streamlined pole could be a great help.

I assume the buttons can have an alpha opacity value below 100%? Also, is each button an individual graphic?

correct and correct. last night i have discovered which one does what in the tile... now i know which one does what, im gonna try something new which should look good.

you know your way around graphic art?

Hej,

I've been thinking (which always gets me into trouble) would it be possible to not have the advisers faces in the advisers panel? Just having a logo could mean that the height of the main panel could be lowered, and to get around the whole flashing advisers thing (Again annoying) the logos could have a white, green, or red background depending on the advice status shown.

I ask this as I am thoroughly not in any way conversant with the arcane magics necessary in creating this marvelous idea.

it's a great idea.

let's see what i find in the rabbit hole. Sorry my reply is delayed, the real world is making my life busy.

Real life, ain't it a nuisance I could spent all day on SimCity but then I have to do other things (Apparently eating is a good thing to do too, who knew?)
