Panzer Battles Demo - Released!

[Strela]

What do you say about giving the Shading options a different color in the menu bar ?
Currently these drown in the pool of all the other green colored menu options in the bar.

It's easier to commit to memory the hot key for these several functions.  Less mousing around with the right hand to find the toolbar button.  More use of the otherwise idle left hand.

Hotkeys ? Whats that ?

Well, you did a pretty good job with the coloring of the menu bar but lost it a bit with all the green colored buttons at the end. Adding one or two more colors would be better for usability in my opinion.

I agree, there's a lot green buttons there. Here's a thought: make the buttons that shade hexes grey as that is what they do to the terrain, and the buttons that highlight units yellow as that is the colour of the highlight square.

edit: quick mock up of my idea:

Hi Guys,

Back working on Panzer Battles 3 

For all asking for it in this thread, we have updated many of the sounds in game - very happy with the changes. These are not the FWWC sounds ported across.

We also have a prototype of a new task bar, fixing the current 'green out'.

See below. The top graphic are the current icons set and below is the proposed new ones. The Green icons have been broken into three groups. Tan is for 'shade commands' such as movement, command and weapon ranges. Khaki is for unit and other highlight commands. Green is for all others, usually map and other miscellaneous functions.

Right click to see the graphic full size.

Original on top, new on the bottom.
