This is from my topic in the In game changes.

New menu drop box- The menu will look something like this (sorry but i just made this so its going to look weird. If it has a X there and a number and then * that means its multiplyed by that many and the * is meaning it goes down the list

------------------------------------------------------
| --- |
| | | |

-----------------------------------------------------
Ok that box right there is X4 * meaning theres 4 more like that going down. It will mean:

-left side-
First box- items
second box- stats
third box- skills
4th box- chat

as you see in the middle or all the way over until it hits the box will be the window type thing. Like if u click chat the chat box will appear there if u hit items your inventory will appear there etc. On the chat box there will be a choice of regular, global and when someone pm's you another tab will show with there name.

On the other side will be the same amount of boxes

-Right side-

first box- Whos online - shows everyone thats online- right click on the persons name to PM them

Second box- ??
third box- ??
4th box- ??

I cant remember my ideas for them but i will try and think of them. Tell me what u think of this and if u like it i will post a pic of what it should look like,

Could you post a bigger pic (so we can see more of what's going on) and a screenshot of what it looks like now (so us Mac users can compare)?

I have Photoshop, ImageReady, and GraphicConverter. Resizing an image isn't difficult in the slightest. However, I want to be able to see the fine detail that gets lost when you shrink an image then blow it back up. That's the whole point of asking for a larger pic.

Please don't use BMP or ASCII art, use PNG and just embed a normal version using the [img] tag. I don't understand why you are adding the strange black border and resizing it like that.

From what I can see, I'm not sure if I like it. Also, the brown woody style is totally different from what we're currently working towards, so it would be quite a radical change.

I dont want to keep the colors that is just an example. The menu would be easy to use for players and i was thinking of also adding the circle menu below the player that way the player has the choice to use either menu.

We are planning on having a naviagtion menu similar to that one for players to naviagte their stats, skills, and items. The ring menu is exclusively for context commands and player/world interaction.

Sincerely I like the ring menu a lot and I'd like to use it as much as possible... :shock:
