    Good job it looks nice, more fitting with the style of the game as opposed to the default blue.

    Thanks for all of the kind comments, I will be releasing an update soon which tweaks some of the very bright colours and adds the correct colouring for all of the chapter screens.

    I didn't mention in the first post, but if anyone.wants to use any of the elements of this for any work of their own then just feel free to take them, you don't need to ask, but credit would be nice

    Don't chew on the screenshots, they're not made for consumption.

    Awesome job!Looks much better now.The only thing I noticed is when opening a container (gem bag/scroll case/ammo pouch) in shops the "close container" button is still blue. Also, the bed icon in the innkeeper menu is still blue.Not sure if it was intended to be...

    @enoch0o Thanks for letting me know, they were some of the last files i worked on so i must have forgotten to copy them into the upload file, I will sort this when i get home from work, too many screens and buttons to keep track of lol.

    No, problem.I can see how it would be easy to overlook these few minor details.Not trying to be picky, just giving some feedback.As before not sure if that's what was intended.

    The only other traces of the blue I noticed are in the empty equipment slots on inventory screen,when you open bag/ammo/scroll containers and the "Character Arbitration" screen when you make a multiplayer game .

    Also, the parchment looking texture when you visit the temple priests "healing" and "identify" windows doesn't match the other parchment ie,. the donate window or item description dialogue backgrounds.

    Thanks again!:)

    Very good job!!
  • RequiemRequiem Member Posts: 187
    right @enoch0o all of those things you mentioned have hopefully been sorted plus a few extras, so hopefully this GUI is pretty much done, can properly work on my kitpack mod now!

    Fantastic! I like this better than the new bluish GUI, feels more authentic

    Very nice work, exactly how I'd like the GUI to look.
  • RiolathelRiolathel Member Posts: 330
    Am i the only one who likes the blue? lol. Brown is so dull on the eyes
  • RequiemRequiem Member Posts: 187
    @riolathel I wanted to make the GUI a bit more like the bg2 one because that's the one that's holds the fondest memories for me, I don't particularly hate the blue one, just for me it takes away from the whole baldurs gate feeling, at least if I provide this mod I can give people an option

    Save the brown for BG2EE.

    I do like this, though.

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but you can always upload it over to http://www.shsforums.net/files/category/113-bgee-mods/
  • RiolathelRiolathel Member Posts: 330
    @Requiem. Oh not complaining at all. The more options the better. I personally think it would be awesome if the game included a few other colors like red, white, orange. But that's probably better left for mods and i am fine with the blue.

    I won't mind the brown in BG2 and i think it'll be nice to play a game with a whole new color hitting my eyes
  • BurfiakBurfiak Member Posts: 32
    This should be included in the game (as optional). Let someone make a request to the devs. There are a lot of people (including me) who HATE blue GUI and this one is the best!
  • RequiemRequiem Member Posts: 187
    I'm really glad that people are enjoying this, it was so tedious to do that I nearly gave up on quite a few occasions lol

    @antisthenes I just saw that we had that space earlier today, I will upload it there in the near future

    @riolathel @burfiak I would love for it to be included in the distribution, but I don't think the devs would be too keen on it as i've basically just taken all their work and altered it. In an ideal world the GUI colours could be selected in the same way as character colours in game so everyone could have exactly what they wanted, but to reprogram the entire GUI would probably send the developers over the edge lol.

    Hello @Requiem!

    You've really done a wonderful job with this mod. Its simple, its beautiful, and quite plainly it works... mostly.

    When running the WeiDU Setup file it points to gui/.. which causes errors for me. I was really hoping to get this running with the WeiDU installer as I am currently testing which WeiDU mods work properly on the iPad and advise people on the quirks that may be involved in installing said mods.

    Might you take a look at the log and advise?
