GUI Skins

News & General Discussion
1

So I’m considering putting together some GUI Skins for the asset store but I’m wondering what should be included. I know I need to include PSDs of the GUI as well as PNGs of each part. All clearly labeled of course.

What else should I include?

Much thanks,
Zoe

Wait till the new GUI system is implemented in Unity :wink:

Aw but I wanna make stuff! (also when will the new GUI system be implemented?)

take a look e.g. on necromancer gui on the assetstore
there are all textures, fonts and one full gui skin which uses them

also: i could probably imagine any other forum section for this question but this one

There’s also the Extra GUI Skins package on the Asset Store, provided by Unity and also free like the Necromancer GUI. And yeah, the UnityGUI forum section would be better for this thread.

Yes I know this would be better suited in the GUI forum, realized that after I posted it. If a mod would move it I would appreciate it, but it’s not totally out of place here as it’s still Unity related and I was hoping for personal input not just a precise list of what to include. I’ve seen threads more out of place than this one.

The Necromancer GUI has a very nice test script that shows off how it looks. I used the pause menu script I put on the Unify wiki to test the Necromancer and Extra GUI Skins - 域名已过期,无法正常使用 - you are welcome to include that script in your package if you like.

Thank you, if I use it I’ll make sure I give full credit. :slight_smile:

Also, if you’re targeting mobile users, you may want to provide different-sized versions of your skins for different screen sizes/resolutions, e.g. GUIKit001 has a 100% and 200% version of its skin.

Writing this all down lol

@technicat: That’s pretty neat =]

@Zoe: I also wanted to get into doing some GUI stuff not long ago but a friend mentioned that there was not much point just yet because of the update so I can’t wait for it so that I can screw around and have some fun creating some interesting GUI Skins

I’m trying to find some information on when that is but I can’t find anything

13

The closest thing to a release date that I have found is: late summer / fall 2011 release.

Also I forgot to mention. I recently checked out your portfolio work Zoe and you have some cool designs in there, there is some really nice stuff. I like the Runes and the Eyes!!

Thank you :smile: I probably have more I should add to it lol just have to sort through my work and see what I have.
