To black, maybe? It would allow for a constant color gradient in the background (dark to light) and should give more freedom in its design. I have experimented a bit with that background and I think a decision must be made, for either a dark or a light background. Some wares colors may need to be changed accordingly. Personally I'm not too enthusiastic about the lavender (nor the blue-ish) scroll bar, but that is largely a matter of taste. The pattern however is root grain,(Wurzelholzmaserung) so a wood color would look appropiate. How about a warm reddish tint like cherry wood? I like the border carvings. Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills. I am on Win32, have no means to compile, and rely on prefabricated distributions (Thanks to Tino). Top Quote

Well, that's a task for the programmers, but maybe i can take a look later on. Should be not to complicated. My C++ coding knowledge shouldbe enough to get this done. Top Quote

Waht do you think of that: Button foreground color (font color) and background: For the window background I would use a darker version of the button backgrounds. Any other ideas? Top Quote

I'm of two minds on the direction we should take with the entire UI development effort. I was going to propose we start a public branch specific to UI enhancements (as opposed to numerous personal branches) to help coordinate the various UI efforts and ultimately deliver a polished and comprehensive UI upgrade package. After reconsidering the matter, I fear a separate public branch could result in complicating testing if new features that are dependent on UI changes are added to the game before the UI package is delivered (which is quite likely). I believe such changes would require parallel upgrades to the trunk and to the UI development branch and thereby increase the work unnecessarily. Maybe I'm troubled over nothing, but I'd like to hear other's thoughts on this. EDIT: I just read SirVer's comment #15 in Bug 746645 in which he proposes establishing a separate branch. In light of that, my fears are allayed. Edited: 2011-04-18, 18:02 I see little people. Top Quote

Do a bzr get lp:~widelands-dev/widelands/GUI-Development and LET THE FUN BEGIN!! Edited for instructional purposes Edited: 2011-04-18, 18:55 I see little people. Top Quote
