UI Suggestions (Pics or GTFO)

[thygrrr]

Hi,

I want to improve the UI of FAF (the windows / chat client). It's pretty slick in some parts, and pretty meh in others.

Post your suggestions, but you MUST post a diagram / drawing explaining the UX (user experience) you want.

Before I get to drawing things like a dervish, I must ask: Is it possible for you guys to change the in-game UI, such as the very poorly designed Main Menu, and to change things in, perhaps, the Lobby room, Game options area, etc?

[thygrrr]

Yes, but this thread is for the Windows lobby.
Alas, in-game UI changes are pretty difficult to do, so they'd probably be better contributed in code instead of concepts.

Why the girl in rose ? That's sexist !

We could do with a standard avatar I think. Right now it just looks a bit weird with the gaps in the text.

As for ideas: the faction icons? Although they could also be awarded to winners of faction-specific tournaments.
I'd also like to see the map editor avatar for people who have uploaded maps (I'll upload an image of a map editor avatar when I've made one).

Considering to change to 40x20 avatars, just as a heads up (the space is there, but it might require 400 extra vertical pixels if we want small gaps between the items.

It'd be easier just to make a faint darker line at the bottom of each item.

[Plasma_Wolf]

They're 32x20 now, which doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

Anyway, the Avatar for map editing is attached.
