Take out the little sprites next to the names of the items, then it would be perfect.

Really nice work!

I have a few suggestions and questions for the second picture you posted:

Maybe it would be better to have no background tree in the preview so that you only see what you want to see the gotesk.

I would make the gray area around the down arrow symbol green and the 3 buttons default edit key and clear key green.

Could you describe how the default, edit key and clear key button would work?
I would prefer to have buttons to set the key like it is now just with text (maybe only the assigned key as a green button and the description just a label like it's now on your mockup)

The mouse sensitivity edits should look like normal edits (white background and black text).
I think that way it would fit more into Soldat.

The background of the bar could be the dark "gray" color from the unselected tabs at the top black isn't used anywhere it stands out too much imho.

I wonder if the little head gfx would fit better when they are displayed after the text:
[headgear: | Helmet <helmetgfx> | v]

That way they would appear horizontally at the same position it might be easier look at the gfx when too lazy to read the text.

You are doing a good job here ;)

These caught my eye.
If you 2 were top make a team there'd be great things coming for soldat.

we can try something like this if you want customisation.
nevermind about blue color I was just wondering if it'd look better if I put blue


Very nice redesign of dropdown menus. Compact but still shows a lot. Good idea with the previews, but with full preview at the top-left they aren't really necessary.

IMO on that screenshot there's not enough of green. I'd say let's keep the "default/edit/clear" buttons green. Also, what's the point of the "edit" button if you need to click on the key itself to edit it? And I don't think there's a need for "clear" button either. I think they should be shown in a popup window when you're actually setting the key. Something like this:

Kzya's desing seems pretty cool and straight forward. I never was a fan of the current design anyway. I'm definitely backing this up.
I fucking miss all you cunts!

Oh by the way.. might be a good idea to add another column for a 2nd set of keys (so that you can assign 2 different keys to one thing). "Left/right click" can be shortened to "Mouse #" or LMB/RMB (left/right mouse button)

Nah, soldat is one of those games that don't require you to have primary and secondary key sets, it would just become too complicated.

Can we also add a new feature to the "Other" section. How about having Scores too? Like it's F1 at the moment. What if someone wanted to make something else. Can we able to change that too. And people actually don't know how to check the scores in the first place without checking all the keys.

Yeah! Add a section for a scoreboard choice. Selectable versions should be classic, Team (as in, players are grouped in the side-by-side one), and so on.
Put in the Gamma bar right next to the Mouse slider, it would fit, and make it look nicer, which would also give more room for things in the Options.

Gamma setting has absolutely nothing to do with player options though. It shouldn't be added just because it's a slider too. :/

What about Sniper Line or Normal checkbox in the player options? Not many players notice it.

Sniper Line and those other options would be great, and help fill in the empty space that makes it all look uneven.

Quickly, what is that font and font size used for the image? I just got CS4 Premium suite, and I would like to make my own version.
I figured it out.

You can see the small change.

Maybe have that heading as Miscellaneous? Like which includes, Sniper Line, Player Indicator, Player Interface and Gamma.
