UI Theme Proposals

[HugoPlacer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No.

Describe the solution you'd like I think the UI theme should be other than Godot's default theme. Something simple, clean, and modern that match with the project.

Describe alternatives you've considered Nothing.

Additional context I think I could help with this because I have a bit of experience with theme creation in Godot.

Yeah, I agree! I hope you don't mind, but I'll probably take the opportunity to turn this thread into a "theme proposals" thread, so anyone can submit themes for the game.

If you have created a new theme for the game that you think fits, then feel free to post some screenshots using the theme of the following:

• The main menu.
• The "Video" tab of the options menu.
• The in-game UI without any windows open.
• The "Objects" window.
• The "Games" window.
• The "Notebook" window.

The reason being that the above items should showcase most (if not all) of the different UI elements in the game.

I made a Theme for the game, is in very early stage, and it's missing some themes, but I want some feedback to continue with the idea or start it over with other idea :).

Main Menu:

"Video" tab:

in-game UI:

"Objects" window:

"Games" window:

"Notebook" window:

Not bad at all! I've compiled a few points for the bits that have changed:

• For buttons with icons in them, I think the margin between the icon and the border of the button is a bit too small.
• The tabs at the top of the options menu should be separated a bit I think.
• The backgrounds of buttons and panels seem a bit... dark? Maybe there could be a little bit of colour added, just to make the UI feel a bit more "cosy".
• For the tools on the left when in-game, I know the cursor tool is selected, but it kinda looks like all of the others are selected, and the cursor tool is de-selected due to the light border.

Thanks!!! You're right, :) I will try to change it :D.

In the case of tabs, I have not been able to separate it :(.

In the case of the tools on the left when in-game, it should appear an orange border like this (but you're right it can be improved).

Here are some of my suggestions regarding the in-game UX. They are based on these goals:

• Ease of Use
• Minimizing Info/Options
• Consistent Design Language

Here are the changes I would make:

• Remove Flip Table, Clear Table, move them in a drop down menu for various rarely used actions.
• Make Objects, Games, Room and Notebook popups NOT cover the whole screen. These would be so much nicer to use and more useful if you could still see the game.
• Allow hiding the whole Control-Tip stuff
• Use Icons only for all on-screen buttons (but add tooltips to all buttons)

Here is a mockup of how this could look:
