G3.0: Windows theme doesn't feel like Windows
 

Either there should be something added in the theme files for declaring the hotspots, or the theme should be removed. It works like Mac OS X and looks like a corrupted version of Windows XP

I fully agree, maybe there should be custom skins like winamp =O

I'd be surprised if that wasn't an option sometime in the future.

Yeah, people have wanted skins for along time. I wish they would add them, it would please alot of people.

Another, in my opinion, useless and waste of time feature :p If its that imperative then I would say it needs to be put near or at the bottom of the list of things to add. I'd much rather see Stefan focus his time and energy towards fixing bugs and adding more useful features with respect towards PW development and maintainence.

Actually, I think that it would make more people buy, because they can make it look like whatever they want. And you know how skins can be edited, so this would bring in another creativity aspect.

Well, it seems to me that it doesn't exactly take a lot of work to add a skin feature. Just make sure that there is some sort of template or something to make skins from, to make sure it runs fine. Plus, it would make sense if the RC, or whatever you use the skin for, loads it from your hard drive, rather than from the server.

Um being able to have custom window skins does not always entice people. Considering that it'd more than likely need to be something built into the executable that checks to see if its O.K. to use custom window skins. Otherwise, its just a wasteful gimmick. It would be better as a free bonus that is not dependant upon the type of account you have. Its not exactly a productive feature. Just a distraction.

Graal isn't Winamp :p Leave it as is otherwise it will command too much attention and draw players' focus away from the game. Heck, if you know how and have the right tools you can just as easily edit GUIs in other games ;) They don't intend for you to in most cases, though.

What we need are better playerworld development tools such as a stand-alone MNG editor/viewer that uses the format supported by version 3 of Graal. Something like that would be much appreciated :) Or, an actual GUI for the dungeongenerator with nice little extras like NPC placements and so forth (as well as custom wall size definitions :p).

The GUI themes will become more important in the future though, since you will be able to open your own windows, add buttons, lists etc. via script. Normally the themes should work good, sometimes the window header size is not updated correctly but other than that the things should work correctly, what was the problem exactly (hotspots?)

Did anyone try to make his own theme?
This is actually working like Winamp skins, it would be interesting to have more adventure-like windows (ranks at the border etc.)

I'm editing the Windows theme and saving it as a different name right now. o_O

Uh oh! Stefan double posted. :\ Naughty naughty!

Double-post because no one was replying to my questions and ideas. I can add an option to place the window-buttons in the upper-right corner of the window

Should post it, =o, what's the skin file? I havn't looked yet

I think I'm going to start work on a theme as well. :)
