Games Tab Styling

Postby Aulex » 09 Jul 2015, 04:21

I'm working with Downlord to create his FAF client, we've run into an impass on how to stylize the game cards.
We originally wanted to create it similar to the current FAF client like so:

but due to the fact that the client is being built with localization (multilingual support) in mind this will not work. This is because the labels on the left cannot be separately stylized and localized at the same time (or so we think)

Can you think of a nice way to stylize the info below while still keeping in mind localization.

You don't have to be a coder, I just want help from somebody with a good eye for design. Just try and think of something that will look nice and if you stylize any text, have the style of the label and the associated content (map name: Seton's Clutch) all stylized as one thing or replace them with something, whatever you want.

Symbols instead of words? They could be explained with mouseover in different languages maybe. Not sure if i like this idea myself. Must be good, easy symbols.

edit: great someone beat me to that. and it looks good!

We thought of symbols, I was against it but now that I actually see it , looks pretty good.

I really like how this client is looking, the symbols are great and I love how everything lines up, Very nice work. Just one thing that sticks out to me is maybe the map preview should be just a bit larger so the height matches the text block height, just a suggestion but really great work guys.

Totally agree. There are so many ways how one could design it. =)

Dunno if designers are needed actually. I remember that i filled out a survey where I offered my support but as no one has replied so far I guess there are designers already supporting the developers.

Shai I really love that second design, where did you get the icons from? Also we'll be doing another release soon, if you have any issues with the design of anything please make suggestions, you seem very capable.

Wow that was quick! I like the borders too and the underline of the game name.
