1982 [Quenched]

Double post removal.

New title images. Copied the sig to the top with the two names. Added the dates for the war and the number killed on both sides.

If anyone can think of others that might be fitting to add for the two sides, more than happy to add them, if and when enough are found.

looks cool

I think the legend would look better if you made the bevel on the frame slightly thinner. The thick bevel makes it look too round, while it should be more rectangular in the depth axis.

the new title looks cool. why are you keeping the green "1982"?

The bevel is large as on the photos I looked at, they all had large rounded corners with a deep bevel. Do not know why they had this but can only think of safety reasons. Remember, the British and Argentinian fleets where pretty old, most of them made in the 60's and 70's.

The maps title is 1982. It has always been that from the very first draft. I only added the two names for the war in later versions as soon as I managed to get the correct spelling for the conflict from an Argentinian from the site (around version 3 or 4).

As for Flaps comment about another minefield, the title has never been used as an impassable.

I think you should merge the 3 screens in the bottom right corner into one big screen. The text would fit better, particularly in the small version, and there wouldn't be so odd-shaped screens.

[koontz1973]

But then you are merging the 3 screens that cover Air, half of the land forces and the rules for the navies. The text may fit better but the layout would seem silly in RL. If that route was gone down, then the screens would become one and have the text as it. Not the way I will go as it will then just become a boring legend with the same problem as above.

I will keep it as is so the 4 different parts of the legend are separated. The only sub categories that are separated are the 2 different sides of the land forces and the rules and bonuses for the navies. I would love to merge the those two sets into one but cannot find a way to do it. So the navies would be on one screen and the land on one as well. That would then give 4 screens - rules, land, sea & air. The only problem is that each one would be a different in size (height wise) so the rules would fit as now (it would not fit with the navy rules), the navy and air forces would take up less room but the land forces would run off the map.

The layout may not be optimal but it is logical.

Well it's not very logical to have a separate screen for each piece of information...

And on the small version, the text overflowing from the monitors looks really awkward.

It is more than logical. All types of craft (land, sea & air) have different screens for different pieces of info so it can be found quickly and easily. Just look at any car/planes/ship, all the dials show something different.

And on the small version, the text overflowing from the monitors looks really awkward.

None of the text goes over the border, it touches it on the small but does not go over or under. Will go and move it a couple of pixels to try and remove that effect/look.

[koontz1973]

That should be it. The text now has a clear pixel between itself and the border.

Nope, the upper edges of the ones on the right in the small image still look bad.

Happy now?
