installer revolution
#9
I can't describe this thing as I'd like to but I try.
So look at Windows versions: Win98, WinXP, WinVista. (i don't care about 1.0...3.1...)

98: grey taskbar, black text, 16 color icons (i don't remember corrrectly, maybe 256)

XP: gradient taskbar (blue), white text, 24-bit colors

Vista: gradient taskbar (black), white text, 24-bit colors + 8-bit semi-transparency (32-bit altogether)


Look at TC UP picture on the left side of the installer.
If I want to associate the picture's look with a windows version then I say 98.
This was a long time ago (9 years), softwares improved dramatically...
The graphical user interface of the softwares must be as good as the host operating system, in our case it's Vista.
Every developer knows he has to make a 32-bit icon for his product. I as a user don't like programs with 256-color icons.

So I think TC UP should move to the next era. I know this is the logo of Ultima, but the black background with a few colors is not "fashionable" any longer, I think it's time to make a new design.
