That was a sarcastic post because the answer was horribly obvious.
do enlighten us ::)

Wha?

Edit: Here is your enlightment:

Truth does not fight against illusions,
nor do illusions fight against the truth...
Illusions battle only with themselves.

I love how the defense for bad design choices around here is 'play in full screen'.


That was a sarcastic post because the answer was horribly obvious. Also, I know there are still some problems with the edit because I left them there on purpose.

You can't read that? Then play it in full screen nigguh!

In my experience it works better to have the background color to be light and the outline to be dark. This time I figure I will start with an example and save myself some time. Also, the Xs only look bad because you are putting them against a dark background.


Minor edit using the same colors

I'm not sure I can rephrase it much better. Here is some pictures to show what I mean:

ff7 menu uses only one menu style

ffx2 has three styles on menu boxes

With the way you had it before it looked like you had a bunch of different things going on so I thought it would be fitting to have a little more diversity like the ffx2 menu. But it looks like you simplified it a bit so this really ain't important anymore.

Having every menu box the same style is the formula that most RPGs follow, and not doing it just to be able to use cool menus looks irresponsible and messy.
Thats just an excuse to be lazy. But if you want to stick with the basics thats fine. I don't think you would need to do that with the new menu though cause it looks great.
How is it an excuse to be lazy? How do inconsistently styled menus look good at all?


I think you know thats not what I meant.

Partiality what those two are saying and the fact that its all the same style/color. I would suggest color coding some of the text and maybe not putting everything in the same text box.

I really like the menu but it seems like your overusing it.

What about installing a jury instead of PM voting? I experienced that not many people take part in the voting if they have to do it via PM. If the users shall decide a click poll would be a lot better.
But I still think a jury is the best way to determine a winner.


It is, but since Darken is paying out of his own wallet you can't really argue.
