With 18.3 nearing, decided I should probably getting around to transferring to the new and flashy ndGUI. It all went smooth and the instructions on your site are very clear, so thanks for that.
I installed the ndGUI stable version which seemed fine, but I'm running the beta at the moment.
Just some things I don't like so far about the beta:
InfoView windows have a "logo" showing the name of the GUI at the bottom of the window. I think it's a bad place to put this, and removed it by replacing:
Code:
<BorderView view_layout="horizontal" layout_borders="Rect(2,2,5,2)">
<HLayoutSpacer/>
<TextView layout_borders="Rect(5,2,5,3)" value="<font color=CCInfoText>notum|dovvetech GUI v4.3b</font>"/>
<HLayoutSpacer/>
</BorderView>
In " cd_image/gui/ndGUIbeta/Views/InfoView.xml" with
I REALLY liked how the beta has put smaller text into the infoview window. That was possible with notum dovvetech a few years ago, but seemed incompatible recently, so thanks for figuring that out and adding it.
But I didn't like how the credits/NCU and Agg/Def slider now move around with the menu according to what "ControlCenter.xml" you choose. Previous to 4.3, I had the Credits/NCU and Agg/def slider in the bottom left as they always have been, and the Menu in the top right. Here's a screenshot that might help illustrating what I mean. You can see the gap in the lower right where the Agg/Def and Creds/NCU should be.
Is there anyway to get the icons back on the menus? Beta seems to have made it use text instead of icons, which does nothing but increase the amount of space the GUI occupies IMO.
Also the loading screen is still being chopped off, but this problem has been around for years.
The aqua colours for the InfoView text are a tad too similar IMO.
I'm probably going to change back to the stable version of ndGUI with a modified InfoView.xml, but despite some of the changes in the beta version I think it's a really awesome adaption of Misat0's work
