Windows v6 beta test

[_Zelph]

I would help test more, but my stupid PCID changes every time I start my computer, and it takes long enough to find someone who can update it to be allowed on the new client without having to do it every day.

I hope there's a public beta held for a reasonable amount of time so I can get an actual chance to prepare for it.

are you going to fix this

The biggest problem is that it's harder to read it compared to the old. If it could be changed to be slightler smaller and bold then it might help. Not sure about which font exactly should be used.

Ok in the next version it will use better font rendering for some font types, still using the existing font rendering for Arial and Verdana.

I think support for external windows has to be improved because you can't edit them like you would an internal window.

Support for things like changing x, y, canmove, canresize, and so on still needs to be added.

Windows opening on the center of the mousex, mousey are still quite annoying and should be changed.

PM windows now have resizable frames.

So the new version is perfect except the window position?

I don't think so... pretty sure highlighting hasn't been fixed, or a few other things posted.

I also get a pretty random bug with GuiTextEditCtrls, where it doesn't let me type anymore characters and just replaces the last character with the next character you type.

Would it be possible for some people to post a couple of critical or important things that they know of need fixing that have yet to be fixed? As the list is growing smaller and the forum pages are growing larger, it's slightly difficult to find every last issue that may have been overlooked.

would be nice to see the playerlist's appearance resemble that of the old external playerlist we have on v5. it can still be a graal window as you insist but can it atleast have the same color standards, those tab lines, centered bold text saying "staff, buddies, guild, normal" etc?

the profile window could also use a little work. the old one has the account/nick in big letters making it easy to see while the new one only has it written in small text on the top window bar. that default blue gui is also quite bad for a default skin, text is very hard to read and its not very pleasing. maybe we can find/edit a better one.

CJ should've set up some bugreport system where players can report bugs, and whenever they're fixed, stefan just marks them as fixed. There's some good free ones out there.

There is one built into the forums (Projects at the top), but it's just unused.
