I just dont know about these fat borders and weird background texture they are adding to all the mainhud windows. I personally dont like it but maybe I need to get used to it.

It also seems that resizing windows is a bit more laggy (on my laptop) ever since the new background textures were introduced.

Any one else feel the same?

it's been so long since I've seen default... how do they look these days, what mainhud windows in particular have ugly borders you are talking about maybe I may have those still default, I know the group window etc and destroy window are freaking HUGE now, and particularly ugly.

Tbh the default windows now are all big and ugly the fonts are huge the frames are huge! its just plain horrible... And yeh I have noticed a bit of a slow down also... I changed the default windowelements.dds to grayscale and that has helped lots with the few windows that are left to be skinned cropped etc by me..

One good thing is with the new code structure it's made it far more easier for sombody to be able to mod there own windows now and is much cleaner.. But a real pain in the butt for peeps that already have made full custom UI's prior to these changes...

Personaly I feel that the modding comunity has been let down in the respect that nobody to my knowlage told us what massive changes where going to go ahead... The first hint we got was with the arena windows...

Though like I say the new code is good just the windows suck, and realy we should have been told.

To me it looks like the whole dev team has been replaced! Or they been off somplace learning new programing skills I dunno....... Where's Bobble these days as well? ... Sure he busy guy but unusual for him not to pop in here... Or have I missed somthing?

Dont take this post as a "rant" coz its not guys.. Its just some of my thoughts on whats going on

I like how they restructured the window code, They are a lot more organised then before.I am also in agreement that the new look is just OMG. I really don't know why they made every thing begger when 99% of the modders are makeing ever thing smaller. They seem to go the other direction then where the comunity is at. /shrug But it is fun trying to keep up in a twisted kind of way lol.
