| Summary | 0028811: Some Thoughts on UI Layout | ||||
| Description | The right side of the screen feels overloaded with the main control element, notifications, tasks, and the sidebar buttons. The latter of which also have inconsistent behaviour: some take the whole height and move everything else to the left, the handbook and event log just come down, and the inventory button opens a new window entirely. The rotational nature of the map mode select element also makes it take unnecessary mental effort to select the right one, as buttons are never where you left them and you have to find them again. The button action bar currently freely mixes actions and modes. Splitting them visually might be something worth investigating (maybe move the turn control and build icon in-between them and have the bottom right corner for a mini map and map mode selection Paradox style?). | ||||

I appreciate the thoughts, but I don't think any of these are actionable at this time. The closest one is the rotational nature of the radial menu, but that also helps people to identify what is actually current. The ability bar is full of abilities. Some of them do actually do an ability instantly, versus others go into a targeting mode that changes how you act. This is something that allows for a lot of flexibility, and easy hotkey activation. |
