2 of the notable blockheads are complete handicaps

Infomaniac Jr anyone? At least he is younger and not so grey :3



Thanks PowerDag for the idea.
okay this is really pitiful, so i gotta give you some tips here. (not that im claiming to be a professional graphics designer of some sort)

- get rid of the whole "chalkboard" design because honestly the chalkboard doesn't look that good and looks like something you'd see from a geocities website. keep the sleek transparent bubble from the original RTB or don't put anything there at all.

- don't put "[NAME]'s tips" because labeling your obvious stuff "obvious stuff" is terrible practice. this is why RTB's infomaniac wasn't labeled "INFOMANIAC'S TIPS"

- infomaniac jr looks kinda flat. don't use a screenshot from a really bright map for him, because that's what it does to the colors

Op hates infomaniac too much.

RTB's infomaniac was indeed labeled "INFOMANIAC'S TIPS"

RTB's infomaniac was indeed labeled "INFOMANIAC'S TIPS"
But it wasn't inspired after a user named "Infomaniac."  That user came after RTB 4's release, inspired by the RTB 4 Infomaniac.  I know that you participated in the RTB 4 Beta, since I was in it as well.  No user named "Infomaniac" had anything to do with the development of RTB 4.

all the buttons look like something from 1999
either way, good job!
this brings in great opportunity

What? The only suggestion I am ignoring is to change the name.
It's not a suggestion you twit, it's a rule.

What are you talking about. I know this. I was talking about his name being in the info bubble


Because he said
- don't put "[NAME]'s tips" because labeling your obvious stuff "obvious stuff" is terrible practice. this is why RTB's infomaniac wasn't labeled "INFOMANIAC'S TIPS"
When the "obvious stuff" name was indeed labeled to begin with

Honestly, I feel like this add-on could use some work. However, I actually think it's not as bad as you guys think. There are some people who just want to put out an add-on, and they actually work on it, only to have the add-on criticized to death (e.g. less constructive criticism and more hatred). Goth, my advice is to try and listen to what people are trying to suggest and implement the suggestions. That way, we can be happy. I will not remove this add-on because I like it, but you might want to make it better so other people enjoy it.

i like this guy and i support his mod

Alright I think my previous ways of responding to you where too agressive so let me try a more calm approach.

Ok, so you sort of fixed everything up, but there is still things wrong.
1. You completely ruined the chat gui,  you should of used this design:

The chat bubble is completely unnecessary, so are all the icons up there.

The design I showed you is much cleaner overall.

2. You are detailing the buttons way too much, and overall the whole gui looks too overly detailed.
Try to stay away from gradients and gloss, and aim for Flat and simplistic, try to keep icons to a minimal
and Replace the Infomaniac Jr. Chalkboard with just a window with a simple text.

3. News section is redundant, you should allow simply direct access to the menus and not try to add things.

Last but not least.

5. Stop using the RTB name, as stated multiple times before by other users, try to come up with something original, that doesn't have your name in it, so people don't tell you that your showing ego too much.
