Title: First theme for Zorchenheimer's Menus
Post by: y00tz on April 26, 2007, 11:02:23 PM: A few minutes ago, I began work on, and consequently nearly finished, the first theme for Zorchenheimer's next menu release.

Although, the logistics of it have not been worked out, I hope to make this theme compatible as a loadable theme in Zorch's next menu pack.

Attached first shot of "Quasar" theme for Zorchenheimer's menu pack. The menu shown is Zorch's admin menu.

Also, do you have a different pic for a mouse over? I'll PM you something I have. I like my idea, but it looks terrible.

Post by: y00tz on April 26, 2007, 11:12:27 PM: I agree, I don't like the squishiness but I was trying to keep your menus as close to what they were as possible. Also this is what the rollover image is...

edit: eiii i had plans of changing the background as part of an installer, but i need to first wait and see what Z's plans are.

the bottom pic is an example of what selected would look like.. it's a little drastic there, but the user would be able to tell it's been clicked /is unclicabled, but still be able to see what it is.

1. I really like the concept and the fact that people are taking the initiative to upgrade the game - kudos.
2. The font size needs to be the same on every menu button.
3. You need to use a different font, one that isn't kerned so close. ( I believe Jit said he was working on a new font)
4. (My personal opinion only) I really dislike those colors.

Overall - keep up the work. Nothing but good is coming form this.

Post by: Spook on April 29, 2007, 11:45:27 PM: i like that one, alot. Keep up the good work
Title: Re: First theme for Zorchenheimer's Menus
Post by: jitspoe on April 30, 2007, 01:39:03 AM: I think it would look better without the button background -- just use alpha transparency for the blue/yellow highlights and whatnot. This is where PNG support would come in handy, since getting graphic editors to work right with TGA is sometimes a pain.

/me looks at the voting thread.

Claps hands in glee! How is this being released?

Post by: Edgecrusher on April 30, 2007, 03:46:32 AM: The second one looks best for me. Only I think you should loose the blue background. After watching it for more then a few seconds I thought I was delusional :) But I really like it.

Post by: lekky on April 30, 2007, 09:37:46 AM: i agree with jitspoe, i probably won't use one with a background, don't think it would suit the game, without it i would for sure.
