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.

Looks good. Not sure if I like the words being squished on the longer ones, but thats more than I've got.

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.

It would look nice except for the yellow-on-green-on-blue. Good work anyway!

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.

A few things:

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.

good job! But i don't really like the look of them. If they were smaller and not so bright i would like more. Keep up the good work!

I have to agree with #1 - #3 on Knack's list

Kind of reminds me of some medieval RTS game with that font.

haha! my cousin was playing this game called "Adventure Quest" or somthing like that and it had pretty much the same font

hehe
Nerd RPG game

Good work the lekky, i too, do not like the squishyness of the letters.
Im sure you will find a better alternative anyway

Nerds don't play Adventure Quest, we prefer a good game of Zork.

Silly · « **Reply #10 on:** April 27, 2007, 06:21:13 PM »

KnacK · « **Reply #11 on:** April 27, 2007, 08:18:09 PM »

Zorchenhimer · « **Reply #13 on:** April 29, 2007, 09:41:52 PM »

Ok. I just started these the other day, and I want to know what you think so far.
1st Pic - Normal
2nd Pic - Highlighted
3rd Pic - Selected

Spook · « **Reply #14 on:** April 29, 2007, 09:45:27 PM »

i like that one, alot. Keep up the good work

jitspoe · « **Reply #15 on:** April 29, 2007, 11:39:03 PM »

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.

* jitspoe looks at the voting thread.

Claps hands in glee! How is this being released?

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.

I'm still working out the details.

lekky · « **Reply #19 on:** April 30, 2007, 07:37:46 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.
