[REL] Economic Efficiency UI Mod

trying it out, maybe I get a liking for it. I really do think the Mass and energy icons ought to be in there. and that the theme could look a little less aggressive. it's totally possible to do a gradient to alpha 0 in CSS, btw. I did that for my old commander HP both top and bottom, it looked quite slick.
I think the ECO bar should fade on top side only and not use any other gradient.

overall much less aggressive in my opinion. I'll make an upload of what I mean approx if I find the time.

EDIT : "IT'S OVER 9000!!!" what took you? x'D

As i said the "agressitvity" is done on purpose to get your attention. It is being done to the detriment to the aesthetic, i m aware of that.

I try to stick to the PA design as much as i can, but the perfect balance is hard to reach

Going a little less heavy on that gradient would go a long way to making it look less "aggressive". You will still see the colors just fine, but it wouldn't jump out at you quite so much. I really love that your default position is to simplify things unless there is a good reason to have it, because we are already overloaded with so much information from the game as it is.

i put a new css, trying lower the flashiness of the color, and reducing slightly the gradient.

This is such a big change that I'd rather it were hosted as a new mod than an update.

Isn't it so that the old version doesn't work with current PA build? In that case it shouldn't matter to release it with the same name. Somebody can go make a "Economy Efficiency Classic" mod if they want to update the old version of the mod to work with current builds.

The old version works fine, but it looks a little wrong.

OK. Then naming the new one for example Economy Efficiency 2 might be justifiable.

Please make two different versions. I thought the last one was just fine. Or, if you don't want to make two separate mods, then why not create a place for your mod in settings where the user can choose between the two looks?

Well, the original one should be updated to use the new underlying knockout code but keep the old style. It's something I have been meaning to do for a while now but never got around to. I still plan to eventually, but I don't recommend waiting for me to do it. If someone else wants to fix it, please do!

mmmmh :/
It seems that this new design doesn't please every one. I'm going to work harder on it.

I'm gonna help you out bud' this mod's been by my side since day one and has never left me. It's my number one recomendation and it's my favorite.

edit for Zaphod :

I have a new design that will blow your mind !
(i hope)

Coming soon ​

(Yeah this was a trailer)

Needs more explosions.

Don't get me wrong; I love everything about this mod!

On this forum, the better a mod is, the more suggestions people make. You should take our interest in it as a compliment. I see some issues with the design that I would like to change because I think we can make this even more awesome than it already is.

Thank you for your support, i hope you will be entierly satisfied with the next release

Here a preview of the next design.

This picture is actually done with Power Point, but the CSS is in progress.

That looks really good!

yes, much much better, really ! the glow effect could be a little smaller maybe.

What i would find interesting, is a timer, that tells me in how many seconds with the current draining of metal/energy, the storage will be empty (or full, if its positive)

I was thinking the glow effect could have a knockout bind that increases the glow the farther you are from an optimal economy. So green has no glow, yellow has a light glow, then red and then finally blue with a strong glow.
