Very nice!

One question/suggestion. Is there any chance of "hiding" those scroll arrows and X? Maybe you could make them dark brown or black to blend in with the leather cover. I know it's a compromise between functionality and appearance.

Is there any chance to see it in the future GW update?

That's hard to do. As a senior interface designer for a game company (not Ubi lol), it hard to do intuitive interface that fit to every user.

I've made the button more visible:


For the simple fact to not get a tons of post of people asking me where are the buttons


I wanted the browsing buttons bigger because it was an issue for me, I hated t to click on the edge to open the damn manual while all I wanted is to go for the next country. Now with bigger buttons, I feel that it will not happen as often it was before.

Of course that can be changed.

Why dont you make it so you click the flags to scroll through.

I see JonZ. And what about putting the arrows in the left and right lower corners separatelly while having X in the upper right corner? I understand the functionality you are trying to achieve, it just ruins the nice book cover image you have created imho.

And it would be great to see it in GW update.

Because not all countries have two flags. There's few countries that have a Navy flag and merchants flag, like above.

Having the arrows that distanced will just make the browsing a pain. Imagine if you have a lousy mouse aim or bad timing, and you have to come back, you will have every time to travel border to border to simply go for one action. Having them close to the title was perfect for me because you focus at the same time on the buttons and the Titles.

The buttons esthetic can change, but I think I will not change the click zones. I think they are fine where they are, but there's room for optimisation.

EDIT: I think I have a better ergonomic browsing in mind rather than having the arrows on top and below the countries titles. I'll post a quick render of it when I'll come back home.

OK, that makes sense to me - I like it the way it is. It's certainly better than the stock one.

I would just like to know, which nations will be included? The stock manual of course does not include any flags or names for nations added by modders.

I will be eagerly awaiting the release of this manual.

I'm working on all nations included in IuB or GW, and frankly, it was a PITA to do. But it done. Just need to compress the area, make a batch process and we'll have about, what?, 30 countries?

I am trying also to find out if there's a way to put 'favorites' countries on the top. This is fastidious to browse a bunch of countries while the concentration is around merchants and british shipping.

I will also work on a high contrast pagelayout for people who haven't moded the recognition manual tga files.

It nice because I didn't have to touch any of the ship profile tga files.

Yeah, I have rework the browse again. I think I'll stick to this one.

I am doing other tweaks in the menu ini files. My Docs are almost done and I am doing assorted colors for different taste...



Heres a shot.
