I love the look of the new client, however the large blue and red shaded bars at the side don't feel gritty and bloodbowly enough to me. I had a quick play with a graphics program and game up with this - just a first effort using the cup image from the front page of the LRB. If anyone has some other ideas I can do mock ups of them as well.

the icons have kept their red and blue bgs to help them stand out - with a small amount of trancspancy to the image beneath - this value can be adjusted |

prerfer the plain look in all honesty
though I also turn off the player icons as well
perhaps themes can be added at a later date under low priority to let players choose and customise |

i second that... a nice looking client is all well and good, but i'd rather have a plain working one than a good-looking not quite working one |

Sorry but that it a mess, the focal points are too hard to distinguish. If you are going to make something fancy looking stick to the pitch, but even then keep it to the point where we don't lose the players in the background art. I am a big fan of neat and tidy, and the to me is the exact opposite. |

ok so not a resounding success - No other suggestions for what to try? Or should I give up on this one? i still think the gradient white to blue white to red doesn't look good. Here are 2 quick alternatives - Option 1 is the same but with the pictures faded out and the icons made brighter. Option 2 is replacing the gradient with white and putting blue/red borders around the icons. I like the borders whichever way as it reminds me of the turn counters in the tabletop game.

Well i like the effort. I think the pics sort of lacks a border. Also if you kept left side completely red (shades of red) and blue for the right side, i think it would give a better result. So only shades of one color on both sides. And then a 3d-ish border around it... You know a border with some shade to it... dunno im tired... |

I actually liked the added artwork. Before it fealt sort of naked or unfinished but the added gfx give the client some character. Possibly darken the images somewhat so that they don't pop-up too much? Also, possibly add the potential to customize for gfx/plain? Oh and it would be cool to have a pic or two on the sides of some BB action (blitzer helmet grill eg). |

Allowing skins would be a great, but obviously would probably be one of the last priorities |

The side bars are plain mainly because they are the background for a lot of icons - it's just that most of those are not there yet (Bloodweiser Babes, Igor, Master Chef etc.). There are only apothecaries and "Get The Ref" implemented yet. |

I think it would be nice to use the dead space on the sides for team stats of some kind. Maybe break it down to the players being used at the time too, although action may move too fast to read the info before it switches to the next player.
So perhaps for team stats it shows win/loss record against each type of race that team has played. How successful the team is at passing/blocking,etc. For player stats it could be much of the info that is shown on the individual player pages for collective stats of all matches, etc. |
