Quickness Posted Thursday at 03:24 PM Report Posted Thursday at 03:24 PM I don’t play Vintage Story that much, but as a beginner I’ve run into many inconvenient moments. I’d like to share them here and offer my ideas on how they could be improved. Why are the color selection blocks placed in different areas? I understand the sorting might have been designed so that hair color is grouped with different hair customization options, but to me it felt strange and confusing. Then why isn’t Skin Tone under the Underwear selection? I’ve attached screenshots of the old and new UI below so you can compare. In the new version, I moved all color selection blocks to the left to make everything more organized. While looking at the color selection blocks, I noticed a design inconsistency. Why do dropdown buttons have a dark background, but color selection blocks don’t? I added it, and the overall design now looks more consistent. I moved all dropdown buttons to the right so that all visual customization can be done in one place. Visually, there are now “groups,” indicated by spacing. For example, Hair Type and Hair Extra are one group, and you can see they are placed close to each other. The next group is Beard and Mustache, and so on. There is clear visual separation, which makes it easier for beginners. Why can’t we use arrow buttons to change any customization option in dropdown lists? This is one of the most inconvenient things. We can’t visually see what a hairstyle looks like, for example – only its name. It would be much better if hovering over a dropdown allowed using left/right arrows to switch between options. In addition to the previous point, it would be great if hovering over an item in the dropdown instantly previewed it on the avatar, and the player could then simply select it to apply. The same applies to selecting colors for elements as well. Everything feels misaligned – buttons are placed at different levels, even though it could all be aligned neatly and look much cleaner. I removed the “Show dressed” button and turned it into a smaller toggle directly on the avatar panel, like a boolean checkbox. Why are map and hotbar displayed at the bottom? This should be hidden. Overall, the game’s UI looks outdated – both functionally and visually. It needs a complete rework. Old UI NEW UI
