1.4.0 New default UI style - Pumpkin

#1 Post by CCC »

OK, I'm pretty open minded about UI changes, and I could probably get used to the new Pumpkin color scheme - but my first character post-upgrade happened to be a Doomelf, and the Searing Halls screen looks like it was covered with exploding pumpkins - the orange/dark UI and the orange zone look more like Halloween and less like ToME. Matters get even worse if you take some damage - the "Low health" tone change makes it even harder to look at the screen.

I don't want to hate on the new skin, but maybe figure out a way to make it mesh with Searing Halls better? For now, I've switched back to Metal.

Pumpkin! It's got a flashing orange XP bar and it's super-dark. Just swap the regular "You have upgrades" icon for a jack-o-lantern and you've got yourself a holiday theme.

After a little more game play, I've switched back to Metal - I don't mind the overall theme, but the glowing XP bar is distracting and makes it hard to see your XP situation and whether you have upgrades. I'll make a mental note to switch in October. (;

To me it looks more like black coffee with caramel cream. The skill screen seems a bit too dark.

For what it's worth I really love the new theme. I didn't really give it much thought previously, but I'd hate to go back to the old one now :P

The new theme makes me think of Baldur's Gate 1 - bronze and gold...
