Could you please provide a screen shot for further discussions? Not everybody in the forum has access to Launchpad or several bzr branches.

Thanks, Chuck. face-smile.png

Yes, I vote for 6. The colours are more as the originals ans not that distracting.

don't know whether non-active-developers get a vote here ....

is it just me liking the old set better? if you go for the new set, please make it muted (ex 6); and could you turn the icons a little counter-clockwise? [and while i'm at it: could you make the icons appear and disappear when moving the mouse over the screen (so you do not have to turn buildhelp on and off all the time) - i guess that's a major task, but one can always hope] best, k

Oh yes! 6 is my overall favourite :) In my opinion, they fit a lot better into the game. Thanks to fraang and chuckw!

@k54e56 - do you mean that feature from settlers ii, where some small build helper icons appeared, even when the build help was turned off? I guess, that's more a task for the coders rather than the graphic developers. However, I don't really miss that feature. I mostly use the complete build help as it gives a good overview. And just pressing space to turn in on/off doesn't take too long...

Why not? Everybody shall enjoy the game. And different features or graphics can help a lot. What do you think, why there’s an forum for discussions? ;-) By the way: I’m no developer.

About the mouse moving: I have to agree with martin. It definitely is a coding task and something that is imo not really necessary.

What makes a developer? And how to distinguish it from a Non Developer? Imho, in a community project, the community is the developer.

I prefer 5 because I like pop-colored graphics, but I like 6 also. I am very glad that the perspective build icons will vanish... They somehow disturbed my spacial sense.

Excellent work!
