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

[Jeff]

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 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.

[Judge_S]

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 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 ).

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?)

[Admins]

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

[Crono]

Uh oh! Stefan double posted. Naughty naughty!

[Admins]

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

[Qwert616]

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

[Skyld]

Thinking of graal 3, my dads pc doesnt seem to do the graal 3 cursor correctly, i.e. it doesnt move until a second or two after, almost a latency. Yet it works fine on my pc. Should Stefan want to do anything about it () the graphics card is a RIVA TNT2 and the mouse is a Microsoft Optical Wheelmouse.

[NovaNET]

No offense stefan the new graal client looks horrible i mean using the old background and such in the gui isnt mixing to well and as everyone knows the new client which is intended to be superior is by far inferior!

[Crono]

Nice job bringing back a dead topic and posting something way off topic o.O!

Uh...no...The thread is not that old, there's no rule against reviving threads, and what he said was related (though not exactly the same topic) to what is being discussed. Therefore, you have no right to flame him and you further present yourself as a person below average intelligence.

Subjective - A month can be a long time in certain forums; however, it is not quite so long in this one so much as the others.

there's no rule against reviving threads,

It is highly frowned upon.

and what he said was related (though not exactly the same topic) to what is being discussed.

When somebody revives a thread, one would hope they would post something that is actually on the same topic as the original thread.

Therefore, you have no right to flame him

Crono did not flame Skyld, merely point out that his post was unnecessary, off topic, and went against the general idea that it's bad to revive threads.

and you further present yourself as a person below average intelligence.

You insult his intelligence, yet you, yourself, did not think before posting. Tsk.

You know what Tseng? You should really get off the rag man. You've been nothing but a pompous ******* for a while now on here. I wasn't even talking about Sky...I was talking about Nova's post because it was directly above Gerami's. I didn't even see Sky's post. No one said a damned thing to you yet you feel the need to but in on anything and everything. Go back to your cave and script for G2k1.

[Tseng]

Oh, I see. You tried to look smart and failed miserably when I cut you down to size, so therefore you resort to petty insults. I laugh at you, sir.

Nova did not revive the thread, Skyld did - Look before you post!

Additionally, your comment on what is or is not a forum rule, having little backing earlier, has even less now, when you clearly violate all sorts of rules by those fun obscenities and insults!

No, I'm just tired of your holier than thou attitude towards me and everyone else here that says something you don't agree with.

I did sir. Sky was the original reviver yes, but Nova's post was 7 days after his post, soI thought that Gerami was talking about Nova.

All sorts of rules? I can think of maybe 2 at the most that my post broke, and that's even kind of pushing it considering I was provoked. Besides, since you can clearly read the forums rules at any time you choose, I did not feel the need to "back up" my claim that there is no rule against reviving threads.

Did you happen to read at least 4 of your last 5 posts? And you say I have a holier-than-thou attitude? Bahahaha. You amuse me.

*nod*

Two broken rules are two more than should exist.

Poor excuse. With this same logic, if I were "provoked," I could lay into you with all sorts of insults, and me being provoked would exuse it? Hardly.

Besides, since you can clearly read the forums rules at any time you choose, I did not feel the need to "back up" my claim that there is no rule against reviving threads.

You missed the point. I was pointing out that your flagrant disregard for certain rules is an impedement to your ability to make judgement calls of what is or is not a violation of forum rules.

[superb]

And now to tear apart your original post...

1. The last post before sky's was less than a month old. Nova's post was 7 says after Sky's.
2. Lots of things are subjective, so what?

It is highly frowned upon.

And why is that? You can't honestly say that everyone in the entire community hates when threads are revived. In Sky's case, what he said was not entirely relevent, but he felt the need to say something. But again, I was defending Nova and not Sky. Wait, look, you made a subjective statement too!

When somebody revives a thread, one would hope they would post something that is actually on the same topic as the original thread.

Perhaps so but I feel if someone has something they feel is important enough to post, they should be allowed to as long as they stay within the rules.

Crono did not flame Skyld, merely point out that his post was unnecessary, off topic, and went against the general idea that it's bad to revive threads.

If he was indeed referring to Sky's post then yes. You've assumed that he was as he never stated whom he was referring to. Taking that into consideration my posts were valid considering that I thought he was referring to someone else. Yes, I also made an assumption, and perhaps it wasn't the best one, but the reason I did was because the post directly above his by Nova also "revived" the thread. Boo ya!

You insult his intelligence, yet you, yourself, did not think before posting. Tsk.

This is what provoked my earlier post. You throw a cheap shot at me, then I return fire. Which also means you initiated a flame war.

Anyway, retort all you will, I will no longer reply.

Its highly frowned upon to be rude and acting more intellegent than someone because you are not. Picking fights is frowned on alot more than reviving threads that the issue still exists and is on topic. So sir plz S.T.F.U.

[jake13jake]

I agree... kill the OS themes... they don't look good... an option disabling themes is something I would run with, though.
