... and make a better platform UI

Welcome to the forum.

What is wrong with the current one?
What do you consider being better?

Personally I like the clear and straightforward look of the current one.

Actually I prefer it much over the overloaded bling-bling UIs that comparable games offer.

I agree, but why it is not in a WW2 game? ... But playing a WW2 Game without Nazi Germany is like having a chocolate brownie with no chocolate.

Symbols like this are a clear "no" within this project (see https://forums.triplea-game.org/post/44113). Apart from the fact that it is forbidden in some countries.

@Panther nothing wrong but as a designer buttons could be implemented. The platform is good. The game is good. If you ask me about unity of design and UI i Say It could be implemented. If you look at the image I have linked I haven't done anything. Just put evenly buttons.

@Panther just wondering why using hammer and sickle has never been issue in TripleA lik swastika when its also forbidden in some countries?

[Panther]

@Schulz Feel free to make it an issue.

@panther look at this, come on. I like the logo red. I don't want to disrupt anything here just to put some order. anyway I will do this project regardless because i have to study a new software and this is a good exercise for me and give me motivation. If anyone is intrigued we can have a conversation and improve the interface of the platform. There is some work to do. I Love Triple A.

@Schulz My Observation is Purely Historical. The symbol was a representation of Nazi Germany. As the other flags represented the other countries.

Look how the same width of the buttons gives a bit of more of unity to the main screen: https://ibb.co/gy4HZWL
Just little fixes.

@MirkoBruner Whatever. You know what that means

I appreciate your efforts. However it is all a question of personal taste.

PersonallyI prefer dark colours and less contrast. I use a different scheme, that is ideal for my eyes:

... but I am sure you would have solutions for that, too.

[MirkoBruner]

@Panther you a developer? If so I trust you completely. But don't tell me that it is personal taste.

@MirkoBruner welcome!

@LaFayette @Panther @MirkoBruner i think if we arent not going to use the image style background we were talking about before the issue of light/dark mode should be a system call to use the OS preference some people like dark some people like light and some people like auto. calling the system setting is the only easy way to achieve auto.

[MirkoBruner]

@ubernaut Rightly so, it is not a matter of colours, as said colours are decided by the engine in the preferences. But an image in the background is too heavy and would render the text of the button unreadable. Stick to a solid colour!

@MirkoBruner did you see my mockup?

[MirkoBruner]

@ubernaut Nope, sorry gimme a link!

[ubernaut]

@MirkoBruner it's in the start page thread

[MirkoBruner]

@ubernaut

This one?

[ubernaut]

@MirkoBruner no that's not from any of my posts. scroll a bit on that thread it's not very long.

@MirkoBruner Thanks for your offer.
In theory we need someone who wants to be creative about ui layout and everything (you might be interested in reading https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/5965).
However due to limited resources and the sheer amount of legacy code we realized that redoing the UI is going to be really hard, so we froze the project for an unknown amount of time until we can tackle some more fundamental problems with the code first.

TL;DR Creating a working future concept would be nice, but actually implementing it is probably the more time consuming task, which is where most efforts ultimately failed until now
