once you work in ui for a little bit you start to see ui Things that make you feel like crawling into your screen, finding whoever wanted that, and making them use their own fucking application.

my most hated ui features: when the dimensions of the screen are different depending on if you have a keyboard visible. too many times i have minimised the keyboard and tapped on something, only for the screen to update as I'm tapping, so i select exactly the wrong thing

things that havent been considered for mobile vs browser use. you cant hover on mobile. update your fucking side panel to be one tap open one tap close, i cant see your options

when the button that means "confirm/send" or "delete" switches side within an app (tumblr, why is "discard" on the left when you exit a post draft but on the right side when you exit an ask???????)

confusing icons. text is not the enemy. how am i meant to know what 📝 means in this context?

revisiting hollow bastion in an attempt to take some nice shots and not only does the UI clog everything up, donel and goofer are constantly putting their big snouts in the frame. i have so much respect for what you no doubt endure for your impeccable gifs

I'm laughing because YEAH this is what I have to deal with... Every single time. At least this area is spacious and I can reposition myself easily but getting a clean shot from within a tiny room? Forget about it

heyy, i am the anon of the last ask, and i was referring to adding a background image to the sidebar. sorry for the confusion😅

Ah okay! I use Twine Sugarcube to code, so this won't work for any other story format. You can easily add a background image to the UI bar by adding something like this in the stylesheet:

Here, the background-image is where I'll add the source for the background image I want to include in my UI bar. You'll need to figure out media queries because different screens will display the image differently depending on the size of the image you're using.

I cheated because I didn't want to go through learning about media queries and just used a huge background image (think desktop wallpaper size) and because it was an image that I didn't really care how it appeared on different screens, it worked out fine for me.

In this example, I'm using a local folder/location for my images because I didn't want to rely on an image hosting site to do that, you'll just have a folder within your game folder named images (or whatever you want it called) and that's where you will add your background image for your UI bar.

So if your images folder is called pics and your background image is called bg_image.png, you will add something like this within your stylesheet:

#ui-bar: { background-image: [img[pics/bg_image.png]] }

In my example, I've added a background colour as well, in case the image fails for whatever reason and I've also added other properties to style the way I wanted the image to look. You'll need to fiddle around with it a bit to see what works best for you, but there is a high chance if you're looking for a specific format for your picture, you're going to need to use media queries especially if the game is going to be played on different devices such as phones and desktops.

I hope this helps you and if you're still confused, please feel free to send in another ask/message!

i would just like to talk to tumblrs ux designers about the app design, because why the hell did they place the "create post" button in the bottom right. there is no need for that to be in the Thumb Zone. no one makes new posts often enough for that button to have to be so accessible. all it does is make me crazy because when i scroll, i constantly hit it by accident and the "create post" pop up, well, pops up and i have to close it and it actually drives me a bit insane

[fortune-maiden]

Is it just me or is the Trails Through Daybreak menu/combat UI incredibly over designed?

[clownkiwi]

wait... did. was the option to make posts at the top of the feed removed??? while i was streaming???

[neo-afton]

i hate you new one ui update, why did you have to do this to me

[beatcroc]

its amazing how much every tweak to the icons pisses me off so much
