Ugly things

Well, I couldn't help but notice the awful state of the current bytelink screenshots... I know our client hasn't ever been exactly pretty, but currently... the icons on the left... UGH!

This is a general callout to anyone who reads this blog and is ANY good at icon design. We Need New Icons. Please help. If you can come up with some replacement icons, please post them on the forum and we will implement them ASAP.

Also, a note for j3sus... can you fiddle with the netstat code? The little graph that is always visible, can you make the graph lines appear smaller? Also, I want to see if we can shift the close button over to the left hand side, and shift the MP3 player info to the bottom of the screen, and incorporate it with the email-alert system.

On another note... I will hopefully be able to resume work on bytelink sometime next week. I've been involved with a couple of other ventures, but I'm hoping to wind down my involvement and delegate responsibility.

I've still got work to finish on the PvP demo, regardless of the fact that some people on the forum have already labelled my work as "boring" without even playing the finished version (which isn't in existence yet...). I *want* PvP to be fun, which is why it's taking so long to do. I'm not taking a shortcut to get it finished, i'm pursuing my current design because I believe it will be fun when it's finished. If it isn't fun when it's finished, fine, i'll eat my words, and we can design something different.

Well, that's all my updates for today, maybe I'll have another rant tomorrow... LOL.
