Recently I’ve thought to try designing a new fresh look for ScummVM. This is what I came up with:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As you might’ve noticed, it’s a little bit inspired by Steam: games listed on the left and current game displayed on the right. Saves are available right from the very first screen.<\/p>\n

Options dialog stayed pretty much the same, but tabs are replaced with a list. That allows to add more tabs without any scrolling and makes it look similar to main screen.<\/p>\n

I was unable to add the familiar orange color into this scheme without ruining it, so I replaced it with pale green. The whole look is kind of minimalistic: no gradients, borders, rounded angles and such. The similar approach could be used to redesign ScummVM site.<\/p>\n

These sketches show a 1024×768 desktop look, while not doing anything about platforms with smaller resolutions. I think it’s OK to go with a simple skin for those, meaning the layout stays the same and only the colors\/fonts\/images change.<\/p>\n

I worked with ScummVM GUI system, so AFAIK it wouldn’t be too hard to change those layouts to correspond these sketches. That couldn’t be achieved with a simple skin, because some minor changes needed to place saves dialog in main dialog or to replace tabs with a list.<\/p>\n

P.S. It’s not about GSoC, but my site is configured to show only those posts which has “GSoC” prefix in the RSS feed Planet is aggregating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
