New skin

Post by moskys » Sun Nov 22, 2015 6:39 pm

I've mixed emotions with the new skin. It's just a matter of time to get used to it, and I really don't mind having all the info displayed and the menu buttons on top. But there's something I definitely don't like: pictures and text are now very small, and we have a huge, empty grey zone at both sides and at the bottom of the screen. I like the idea of changing the classical Adventure Creator's layout, but I think that the size of the playing area was not one of its flaws.

That said, I think we should change some texts, now that relationship status is showed on hard mode too. Both 'Instructions' and 'difficulty setting' (after the Intro) pages tells the player that info is hidden on hard, which isn't true anymore :roll: .

I'm not sure pictures are smaller now... I think it's optical illusion due to different positioning of them on the screen [they're lower then before now].

BEW had it's own layout for a very long time - courtesy of yours truly. Actually Tlaero backported/reimplemented (parts of) the old BEW design to be the new AC default look.

This plays into it, and on certain resolutions the images might be a tad smaller then previously - it is being tweaked. Currently it's only "optimized" for 1920x1080. For any other desktop resolution I just made sure that everything that needs to be visible is kind of visible.

I've downloaded the last patch and everything is fine now. Thanks ;)
