Showing portraits in the status bar
Hello.
I just thought that, if techincally ossible, the unit portraits should be shown above the unit statistics when selected. You know where you now see a small picture of the unit itself.

This would definitely need coding changes, so it would have to be a post 1.0 feature. It might be a good thing to do, depending on how portraits look when resized. Another option might be to put the portrait in the background of the unit stats, at least if it didn't make reading the numbers impossible. If you don't want this idea forgotten in the rush to 1.0, it should be posted as a feature request on savannah:

edit: ok, here are a couple of mock ups of what this would look like. I prefer the one on the right with the portrait scaled and added as background (50% transparency underneath the writing)

Everything that I have mocked up is technically possible with SDL.Couldn't they be automatically rezised? If not, would it take to much space to include rezised copies of each portrait?

Sure, I'll do that. Just one question: When submitting the request they want me to fill in "Release" and "Operating system". This is what OS and releas I'm currently using, right? Not what version I want it to appear in.If you don't want this idea forgotten in the rush to 1.0, it should be posted as a feature request on savannah
Both suggestions look very good. Any of them would do...

Yes, feature requests generally will effect all OS's. These fields are meant for bug reports.Lugo Moll wrote:Sure, I'll do that.

I prefer 50% transparency below white letter. That black space could use something to bring it up.
