GUI Customization

Alpho · 02-28-2015

I'm back again to propose another idea to everybody.

Each person has different hand sizes, different preferences, etc, and I figure it would be a fantastic idea to allow GUI Customization. Now, what I mean by this is what if you were able to go into a GUI "Edit Mode" where you could move buttons around like the hotkeys, movement buttons, chat button, etc, and save the position so everybody can customize the screen layout to their own liking?

Personally, I would love to be able to do this. What do you all think? I was thinking of adding a new tab to the profile for this. It would have buttons for "Reset to Default" for the layout, "Edit mode" button, not sure what else. Maybe we could allow more than one preset to be made?

When you tap on the "Edit Mode" button, it would close your profile and your icons would begin to shake. When you hold your finger on an icon, it'll grow in size a little bit and the icon would be more transparent, to show that you're now moving it. You'd let go where you want it to be. Perhaps we could add snapping so that each thing could fit nicely together?

Also, in addition to the editing of the GUI Layout, would it be nice to have an option to pick from different GUI Color Schemes to customize the colors of the buttons and backgrounds?

These are just a few ideas for what could be a fantastic update. With the help of all of you, we can collaborate to come up with a perfect concept so that this can be implemented in the best way possible for you!

This would be fantastic, also something else to keep in mind is as well as being able to modify the gui colour you could have gui themes, purchasable on appropriate holidays and if you really had to, you could even make some "premium" themes players could choose to pay for if they so wished. Unixmad would love you long time for that.

How do I even use hotkeys on my android I bought them but I dint get how to use them

Golden Panda · 02-28-2015

I like the idea, but where else would you put it other then the side of your screen, i dont know anyone who would want it in the centre of their screen.

EDIT:I do like though, the thought of changing the colour and purchasing themes on specific holidays

You hold an icon and drag left, and your hotkey menu will appear.

Like the others have said, iOS we could hold and drag to our liking.

Now, for computers I'm not sure how this would benefit. You computer players literally
use hotkeys (the keyboard) for buttons. So, this update has no real use for you. It would literally make no difference aside from just moving them around to your liking. On iOS it benefits because some players have smaller hands / biggers hands etc. etc..

So many great ideas Alpho, but I prefer you finishing your old ideas first, before thinking of new ones. It'll just push back your old ideas even more. Not trying to sound hateful, as I really like this idea.

It's amazing how genuine Ol'West will be with the help of Alpho... Just wow, I'm amazed.

Sounds like an awesome idea! With the new tab and buttons, maybe there could be an option to change some of the gui theme's like the chat, menu, map, etc. Perhaps the graphics team could sketch up some themes

This is a great idea! It would be nice to be able to change the gui around on my s3. It's just to high/small for me.
