It is very hard to read the text in the colors you have chosen. It is also quite cluttered / busy
The latest super minimalist was chosen to be purposely difficult to see/read without it being solid black. I am not sure what you mean by cluttered and busy. Are you refering to the minimalist or Steel or the previous recolors? If you are refering to the minimalist. I am unsure how only empty outlines are busy/cluttered, but I suppose some would feel that way.
I am not taking offense at your comments I am just curious. Yes I looked at other GUI reskins. Some I liked some I didn\'t. We (all of us) without specific input tend to design and choose elements to our taste. I tend to like digital fonts, not dot matrix or some other stylized fonts. So absent feedback I chose a digital font I had that I liked.
I asked in my very first post what people would like to see, color, style etc. I did a couple of simple recolors with a carbon fiber base while waiting to see if there would be any suggestions. then while still waiting I did two alternative colors at a couple of peoples request. Since there was little feedback other than one person that felt the red/black carbon fiber was too bright. I moved on to redesigns that interested me. Primarily the Steel. I have gotten feed back on it while doing support and am working on those specific comments made.
The minimalist I put up today was just an experiment, that I ended up putting up in case anyone wanted just an outline GUI that was visible without drawing the eye and purposely made it difficult to see. However I also put a comment saying if someone happened to like my little experiment but wanted a different color to please let me know. This also goes for font choice, background choice and a few other things.
When I do recieve feedback I try to see if I can see what the person is seeing based on their comments. I try to understand what, specifically, a person did or did not like. I try to keep that in mind when I go to work on another project or when I am revisiting a previous project. I will say that I am currently looking for a clean , somewhat futuristic / sci-fi feeling font that is clean.
I hope this post gave some insight into what I have done and what I am doing. Which is to say I am having fun and experimenting absent specific request or feedback.
