Want to Make Windowblinds UI's
Here is an idea I was tossing around in my head today on break. I was thinking to make a skin - ALL in separate own windows with the idea of what WindowBlinds (from Stardock.com) does for Windows OS. We have 1 real type of UI out there that does this "Vert".
Would be nice to get 1 layout of what you would want normally in each type of window, skin it, and move the windows around as needed, not worrying about what resolution you want to use it in.
As soon as I learn more about borders and such, Im going to dabble into making 1 prototype in a "Stone" feel first (similar feel to the Drakah mods). This way it would have a universal size dimention -- therefore people can check the xml/graphics and add/replace to create a new skin for themselves.
What I need from everyone is this:
What would you want in the Hotkey area as a normalcy? Vertical or Horizontal? What would you want in the player window? Normal bars and all Stats? (Etc for all other windows)
Let me know what you think.
I just would like to get some sort of consistancy on a handful of mods.
