Re: SE5: GUI design discussion..
I see what you mean by the ship parts things.
XML skins... that would be great, but I don't know XML very well (other than how its like HTML and stuff, and some basic things in it)
Like I said, I really liked SC4's interface... it had like the 3 overview modes, and each mode opened up different tools, which were broad categories, with their own subsets opened by clicking. It prevents icon buildup (SEIV has this disease) but provides good amounts of accessibility. In this scheme of things, I would like it in the GUI to be able to make a few custom sets of submenus (for example, I could really use a set in SC4 with only heavy roads, high density everything, and water pipes).

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
