New font styling that came along with the UI upgrades... #2193

Closed XanderCodes closed 3 years ago

XanderCodes commented 3 years ago

So... this new font. It's definitely different. I noticed some people on Steam weren't liking it, and I mostly agree with them, but I think I could get used to it... EXCEPT for one place it's being used, the debug information, and the game chat. This black border is SUPER eye-grabbing, and not in a good way. I think all it needs is a colour change, but I just thought I would throw it up here so people can voice their opinion...

I think it looks great

For the next update I have changed the font back to the IMGUI font (Arial) Curious if you would like to preview it #2203

XanderCodes commented 3 years ago

Hey @SDGNelson, thanks for taking the time to address this.

I read #2203, and noticed your comment here...

Personally I do not see much of a difference between the uGUI default font (liberation sans) and IMGUI (arial), but the font has been changed to Arial.

After reading that, I think I've actually used the wrong term for what I'm describing. The actual font itself is good (arial vs. liberation sans), and I really like the change, but the black outline used specifically in the game chat, and for the FPS/Ping display, is what concerned me.

Hope that clears it up.

To add, I've noticed the same outline in the map selection screen, where I think it really works: image

But in chat, I think it's a lot on the eyes to read that constantly while playing, especially on busy servers.

Ah. The strong outline is used anywhere that the text can be against a colorful backdrop. Revising the shadows in other parts of the UI is on my to-do for the update still. Unfortunately the uGUI text does not have a pixel-perfect shadow (like the IMGUI text did) so the shadow is a bit stronger to be safe at different scales.

Looks like the latest update has made it much much nicer.

Thanks as always for taking the time to listen to your community, it's well appreciated! 😄
