Summary | 0000653: need a common location for tooltip boxes and information screens | ||||
Description | I was thinking we should move all of the tooltip boxes and ship descriptions, structured descriptions, to appear right below the resource bar at the top of the screen. Right now, it is hell trying to organize all of these boxes so that the opacity does not block anything out. If everything was designated for the certain area of the screen, the player could focus their battle screen on the right area and still be able to read information about what's going on on a certain designated area of the screen. This area of the screen could show the playfield most of the time, unless you hover over something. However, since you are always hovering over something, it makes sense to make a guaranteed portion of the screen set aside just for that. | ||||

The bottom right-hand area would not be a bad spot either. |

Adding a screenshot showing how problematic this is. It completely obscures the game field. |

We've looked at this quite a lot, and can see no better way to do it that will work with all screen resolutions. We're not willing to look at this right now due to lack of time, and frankly I just don't think there's a better way. The assumption is that if you're looking at the tooltips on the sidebar, that's what you're looking at, so you don't need to see the field then. |
