Great idea with the theme switcher.

This flat theme was only a test and for the next skin i will create new icons.

It is not more easy to change just in the moi.css in the ui folder :)
And you can also change the bakground color Windows in the Window "Option" :)

"background-color:#D2DFE1" ; in something like "background-color:#AAAAAA;"
in the following line :)
.CommandBarBody
{
margin:0px;
background-color:#D2DFE1;
white-space:nowrap;
}
.SidePaneBody
{
background-color:#D2DFE1;
}

Hi,

@frenchy

I changed that. ;) ...and a lot of other things in the moi.css.

Sure :)
But just the grey background is suffisent for decrease the "light" of the white color background
Rest of white windows icone is not aggressive for the eyes :)

I think MoI's default layout is in good looks except the toolbar at the bottom of the screen which seems slightly jagged to me... -Petr

Hi Petr, can you explain a bit more what you mean by jagged?

Is there something not lined up as you would expect?

Hi Michael,

Jagged or ragged? Awkward words.. hehe....

I just mean that the toolbar at the bottom of the screen contains groups of graphic symbols (icons, tabs, coordinate and snap controls) varying in visual aspect substantially. However, these groups are located close together as if they was related to each other and therefore toolbar seems not to make a "harmonic" whole. Maybe, it needs dividing into clearly bounding groups using some kind of border(?) and/or harmonizing a different dimensions of graphic symbols as well.

Anyway, MoI's UI can be modified pretty easily by skilful users, so don't bother your head with it...

Petr

I see what you mean. But these things are located close to each other to try to efficiently use space so it will fit on a 1024x768 screen.

This is one of the hardest parts of UI design - trying to make something that works well on a lower resolution screen but still take advantage of a higher resolution screen as well. In MoI one factor that helps with this is the UI scale factor size - on higher resolution screens the default scale factor is a bit more.

But here you're seeing some of the side-effects of making MoI work well on the lower resolution.

Maybe in the future I will be able to tune things up to expand and "relax" a little bit more when there is more space available. This is pretty difficult though.

Hi,

i have updated my grey skin for MoI. Please backup your UI folder before you unzip the .zip file into your MoI folder.
