New client theme

[Exotic_Retard]

uh, so as everyone already said in moons thread, i made a theme for the faf client which might become official.

if you think it should it would be good to say so, so it does.

you can get it here: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/7pgu2av7lgru95wn/artifacts/dist%2FForged%20Alliance%20Forever-0.18.0-win32.msi

and this is what it looks like:






something something, enjoy, do say if its better/worse than whats there currently and all that. whatever, bye.

also, should i make a poll on this post? is that a thing?

I love u dim but i think the current default theme is more readable. You've removed a lot of borders around buttons, tabs, dividers etc. which just makes it more confusing imo. Also some spacing issues like on the bottom bar theres more padding-bottom than padding-top which makes it look weird (i assume you did this because of automatch thing but it looks silly nonetheless). Also where's the being able to see what map people are playing in chat feature?

Anything that is not a Windows 98 theme with pixely borders is welcome, and this serves ten-fold what i expect ; )

blodir-babe:i turned the maps off in the settings, you can do that, theme isnt related, you will have them on

as expected, answering questions on this is gonna be like answering balance discussions xddd

I'm planning to enable this theme by default in future development client versions, just to measure how people feel about it. We'll see what happens to it depending on opinions - one nice option would be to include it as an optional builtin theme.

Does it still have the circle that shows you if a new message was written in a certain channel? It doesn't look like it's part of that theme.

Just so you know having an option to return to the old view will probably avoid irritating a lot of people

Could just keep using the old client versions and not update.

you can select your theme in the option.

Dunno if you should force it onto people but personally i like it.

some things though
- Needs a lot of work lining the lil things up
- The Close, minimise, maximise buttons top right dont have an on hover effect (and need some padding )
- I wouldnt mind some light borders between the userlist and the chat, and some other places where im supposed to be able to click and drag
- the orange text is sometimes very intense

edit

- Dont know why you aligned the text in the games tab to the center container when all the icons, titles etc are aligned left
