| Summary | 0012795: Ironman Popup looks sloppy | ||||
| Description | The contents of the popup that comes up if a new ironman game has been started looks like the text has been simply copied and pasted from the respective tooltip, which simply looks bad due to the "-" bullet point style used. This does not even look great in the tooltip, if I am honest, but looks really bad in a popup imho. Why not use the same style as in the difficulty tooltips for the tooltip and omit the bullets in the popup text? | ||||

Of course it's simply copied and pasted, why would I present Ironman one way in one place and another way in another place? :) And what do you mean, the same style as the difficulty tooltips? Those have: - a header all in white, except the name of the difficulty - a series of lines with a stat description in gray and a value in white. Ironman doesn't have stats to show values for, and is currently all in white, so what would I change? I guess for the Ironman tooltip I could: - have it display the word "Ironman" in Misery-red - and convert the three bullet-point lines to gray, without bullet points And do the same for the popup text. But would that actually address what you're talking about? |

Ok, I put in some improvements for 0.930. Take a look when that's available and see what you think :) If it still needs improvement, and especially if you have specific suggestions (what to use color on, what color to use for each thing, formatting, wording, etc), please either reopen this or open a new mantis record. Thanks! |

Thanks! I will have a look as son as I get home from work today. |

Definitely better = ). The only thing I am not sure about is the way how the use of white and gray text color is inverted after the original headline (i.e. in the headline gray is used to emphasize the word "Ironman", in later paragraphs white color is used to make e.g. "Load Savegame" stand out). Whatever you decide here is okay I guess, I just feel it should be consistent, at least within a single tooltip/popup. On the other hand you likely need some differences in font color to prevent this from becoming a wall of text(tm). So how about this: 1) Make the head and bottom line all white (i.e. do not use gray at all) 2) Use gray for the text in between and white for those sections in it that should be highlighted (e.g. "Load Savegame" ), This would be consistent with the difficulty tooltip if I see it correctly. PS: And, btw, Ironman is not displayed in red in the tooltip ; ). |

I tried red but it didn't look right :) The gray I used for ironman is to highlight that word in a thematically appropriate color, because red didn't work. Maybe I'll try legendary-orange or whatever. Using white for the rest of the top and bottom lines was following the pattern of the difficulty tooltips, iirc. Anyway, will take a look when I get a chance :) |

Ok, I put in a couple more refinements that I think resolve the issue of the apparent color inversion. Let me know what you think once you see 0.931 :) |

Perfect now! Thanks = ). |
