I have to agree the tab menu in Soldat 1.5.0 doesn't look so nice. Soldat 1.3.1 had a better one.
I say make a contest for best menus. I think many people will try to make up something new.

If a lot of people start making and redesigning the main menu the new devs will see. Plus smiluu's redesign is pretty good (still needs work). I can't wait to see what else people will come up with!! I'm no artist but I do have Photoshop cs4...(makes it easy) I'll see if I can come up with something later on. Where should we post our pictures? Here?
Maybe you are right, he's experienced in interfaces terms but little contest wouldn't do harm.

Since there is no official contest YET. I'm posting my submission here. Hope you like it.It's based off of "Battlefield Bad Company 2" 's Gray black and orange menus. I use two screen shots of the menus, Photoshop CS4, Ms paint and the little skill I have using these programs. Time taken, about 3.5 hours...http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/ab284/CRASHCOMMANDOdotnet/soldatGUItext.png
New idea. Make menus theme-able.

Make menus theme-able.Ehm...I don't want to interrupt your creative stadium - new ideas are good and useful suggestions are always welcomed.But...really?! Skinnable menus? Do you know any game where you can choose different themes for the menus?I mean it's no winamp-mediaplayer or internet-browser...it's just a game's menu to quickly choose your options and then get into the game as fast as possible. I don't care how the menu looks since it consumes less than 1% of my Soldat-time.I don't think we really have the ressources to even think about this idea.

Sorry to sound like a downer, you guys might be proud of your work but you were probably proud of your kindergarten crayon scribbles, too. Nice effort, but plastic surgery should be left to the surgeons.Leave the default as it is. At most, add option to load an image file in the back for those who really can't live without their COD wallpaper.Quote from: Illuminatus on December 08, 2010, 12:59:25 pm...it's just a game's menu to quickly choose your options and then get into the game as fast as possible. Basically the gist of it. Vanilla Soldat should always maintain its no-frills spirit. I'm all for community additions, but that's exactly that: community additions.
