Like I said elsewhere, about the mockup example: the current unit/tile widget on bottom-centre should be in the top corner, preferably vertical, horizontal is also ok, but definitely glued to the edge, not floating near the edge to make things more visually attractive.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This is more than a simple feature request. This is an overhaul of how the client looks and feels. There have been lots of discussions lately about the client. It's ugly, it's too hard to use, it's not intuitive, too may widgets and other things are on the screen all the time taking up real estate, etc. This GitHub Issue is to start a conversation with the community to see what we want in a client. We are going to only have one, so let's make it the best one!
Describe the solution you'd like
TL;DR Summary -- Modernize the client. Make it look great. Make it super easy to use. For the details, read on...
Mock Up Image Sample... Assume the side bar on the left is gone and so is the messages widget
Easy to use; no hidden features/functions; everything available from the menus
All features from legacy clients are included. Things such as Lua Console, Map Editor, Autosettler settings, etc. from the legacy Freeciv clients are included
Clean and organized map/primary interface. The two main things that will always be on the map is the mini-map (bottom left or right corner) and the unit actions bar (bottom center by default)
Proposed: New "information bar" at the top of the client right below the menus.
Convert some UI elements that take up the whole page to dialog boxes
Another Mock Up Sample:
Describe alternatives you've considered Obviously we can leave things unchanged, but that does not improve on what we are trying to do here.
