I like the font a lot. Even though it looks very comic-ish, it is very bold and friendly and easy to read.
Awesome work, man!
rwparris2 Wrote:Cons:Yep, the dialogs is the biggest area where I'm still playing about with things as I'm not too sure of them myself. The idea is supposed to be that dialogs come from the top right, unless they span the full height then they just come from the right. Most of them should be sitting in the top right corner of the screen and as usual there are a few exceptions to the rule, info dialogs appear from the bottom as they just look better that way etc.
The 'dialogs' seem to come from anywhere and everywhere. (context menu comes in at top left, add source from top right, browse dialog from bottom right, set content from right) I'd personally like to see them be more consistent than that.
rwparris2 Wrote:I agree with Topfs2 that the default background needs to be more colorful.That background is still WIP and will be better when it's finished. As a whole that background shouldn't be seen too much anyway as the custom backgrounds and fanart should be shown instead most of the time. (Which reminds me, I have a whole set of backgrounds that work pretty well for the various areas of the skin and will look to upload that at some point as it sets the skin off a helluva lot better)
rwparris2 Wrote:In showcase view, when you scroll over the '..' (up a directory) item, everything disappears, and left me wondering 'wtf just happened' for 1/2 a second.Damn, I forgot about that one. Will sort that out soon.
rwparris2 Wrote:In list view, it feels odd when I hit 'right' and land on the scroll bar. The little arrow pointing at the hidden menu makes me feel like right so immediately take me there. No idea how you could fix that thoughYep, not sure I can much about that as the scrollbar needs to be focusable to be usable.
