Match VAB UI popup between each other (Color manager is the main one)


Recommended Posts

It's a bit of a nitpick (I like to do UI design) but I think the UI in the VAB need some uniformisation.

I'm making this post especially for the "color manager" popup.
I hope we can all agree that the most annoying thing about this window is that it doesn't have a close icon. (We are forced to click on the select button to close it)

And now for the nitpick part :

  • The "header" of the color manager is not like the others like I said there is the close button but also it's not the same height
  • The color of the background of the color manager is not the same
  • The bluish-purple border is not on the "engineer's report" and on the "color manager"
  • We can't move the "color manager" around, just on a vertical axis

Maybe these choices were deliberate? (Maybe the background color is for distinction between vab editing and rocket informations but for the others I don't see it)

It's certainly fine to have a problem with the way the UI has been designed, but it's nice to see someone putting some thought into why something they didn't like might be the way it is. That being said, it is odd you can't reposition the color editor. Sometimes its position can feel intrusive.

I can see the distinction as engineer's report and color manager pertain to the rockets' physical form and everything else pertains to its crew and in-flight functions.

+1

I also want a universal "close window that cursor is hovering over" button. Between this game and mobile ads, UI designers seem to have a thing for making close buttons comically tiny, and either way my dyspraxia stops me from getting the cursor position right to click it on the first try.
