Title: Alpha [REG]
Post by: Vltava on July 18, 2006, 10:33:38 pm

My first, feeble attempt at modding with an alpha layer. It's not too bad, I should say. The empty space between the nades and reload bar is the fire bar.

Edit – Updated the ugly cluster-nade.bmp and the vest bar. Redownload, if you must.

It's good, but I prefer the classic alignment along the bottom.

Damn, you beat me to it :D

In terms of looks,, I don't know. Alpha doesn't go too well with your 2x style.

I like its simplicity, many modern interfaces lack that.

That's a lie, I haven't seen an artistic or complicated interface for months. They're always small, compact and simple because anyone can make one like that.

Stalky's right, it didn't take me much time, but I wanted to see how alpha transparency would look. To do this, be sure you have file extensions visible. Then use Gimp, Photoshop, or something to set an alpha layer (or color to alpha). Save it as a .png, then rename the .png as .bmp.

having everything compacted into the lower left is probably annoying.  Why don't you try making a more normal interface using the same style, combined with the classic layout?

Nice pixelated blur effect.
