Not true, we are just yet to find a good looking non transparent GUI

thanks since i have not seen any good ui around i at least posted this to show that anyone can do it

btw cremsus beat me to it he has a nice looking gui coming up i checked his portfolio

and there is awesome stuff there

looks like a starcraft ui

He just designs stuff... That GUI is probably never coming to spring. And Damned would appreciate your talents If interested pop a PM in my direction.

if the pixels were used for the game instead of the UI, then I wonder if a pretty much static UI will be more CPU hungry than a render of a part of the map

I'm pretty sure the map is rendered on every pixel whether or not it's later hidden by the GUI.

yes the map is rendered in full
and no it isnt that cpu demanding, it is as demanding as the normal gui, after all its just an image being showed.

i found a couple problems but smoth and KDR had fixed these a long while ago didnt bothered looking into it though to lazy
1- diferent resolutions, the gui didnt adapt to computers with dif resolutions
2- minimap and changeble map resolution from map to map
3- clock, adv player list and build bar location, also not friendly to dif computer resolution.
4- i made this in a junction between gadjets and widgets
(witch is pure fail ) as im parsing code from one way to the other,
5-due to the increased detail it can take a while to load
(this is easily fixed though)

these are easily fixed by smoths gundam code

NOTE: if anyone wants a nice pleasing simple gui, try talking to smoth about gundams gui

reasons:
1-simpler code
2-simpler texture, more clean and easy to spot
3-all of the above problems are fixed and work exelent



so the gui
is a whole piece in terms of texture ( i find this better to please graficaly)

it isnt a whole piece interms of code though
