Editor UI Overhaul

This is my idea for a cleaner, sleeker, and more modern-looking editor UI. The current style has been around since 2010 or 2011, and over the years, it has become quite messy looking. Here's a before and after image.

▼BEFORE:

Quite messy, isn't it? Not anymore...

▼AFTER:

I cleaned up the whole entire UI by getting rid of round corners, and the borders/gaps separating different buttons.

I re-did the icons, fixed the font inconsistency, and surrounded each block pack with a clean-looking frame.

I also did some changes to the sidebar on the right, increasing the world title size, removing the unnecessary font anti-aliasing, and some other tweaks.

I also added a current player count stat, and a line separating the user list into 2 rows to save a little space.

What do you think?

Re: Editor UI Overhaul

This looks really very nice looking and modern. Options could be useful for those who don't like it, or not.

Great design

Re: Editor UI Overhaul

i see you have attempted flat design

let me just point out that the contrast is a bit too low in the menu bar, maybe make each separate color darker/lighter

the white band around the hot bar isn't aesthetically pleasing, nor the map design
this time it has too much contrast, it would be better if removed

the world info and chat is perfect as is, maybe up the color for the darker texts?

search function's magnifying glass needs some improving, the glare really destroys it

the little icons for each of the building sections are all very well designed, but bg is a bit harder to tell

the outlines around the block packs is arguably the worst looking, it makes it look like it has been prnt-screen'd and dragged into the UI

otherwise, this is a fresh new concept that can be developed and made into something amazing

looks way cleaner than what we have now but that square magnifying glass ticks me off a little

What about custom UIs purchasable in the shop?

That would make too work to make more than 4 styles

Why do people think that the flat style, like in Windows 8 is modern? Ugh

Re: Editor UI Overhaul

Lots of people in EE make art, so showing off the minimap color might be more effective (e.g photoshop swatches)

This palette could be dragged anywhere on the minimap, and clicking a color would choose the block.

Re: Editor UI Overhaul

If they would remake the UI then there should be an option to return to the old UI.

Can you please make it better instead of judging someone's design? Dude, I'm sure that design was really very hard to make because I'm graphic designer too and I see how peoples spend a lot of time working in them. I doubt Stubby did it in 5 hours.

It's really sad when you do your best to make yours graphics and there is someone saying this isn't looking good. In my opinion, this is looking really great.

Re: Editor UI Overhaul

Huge like for this.
EE always needed this but no one cared into limiting the two spaces.
This would be absolute perfect.

Hope it gets added.

And maybe the two spaces can get their spaces customizable.
Make the bar in-between movable to make the list of player and/or list of replies longer.
