Here's some shots of it in action:





These images are at the resolution 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768, respectively. They have all been scaled to 640x480 for ease of viewing. You can click on the image to get a larger version

Note that the text does cover the menu a little bit in 640x480 and 800x600, but that much text is a worse-case scenario. As it is, I think the menu is too high on the screen, I'd much prefer it even lower. The right side of the screen's a possibility, but I imagine people would think of that as too odd.

As a side note, ULib supports using custom animations for voting, but unfortunately I've never had time to make something that takes advantage of these callbacks yet. If someone would like to lend their hand in that, it would be much appreciated... otherwise we might be waiting until ULX v3.0 ;)

Sorry, I like blue, but it's a bit ugly to the eyes. Maybe darker shade of blue.

I somewhat agree with Golden-Death.
Though I like the blue by itself...it does seem a bit bright.
The white text on top of it makes it a bit difficult for me to read.
(I have vision impairments that make some contrasts more difficult than other 'normal' sighted folks)
Apparently, this is one of those contrasts.

Do you intend to make the text color configurable in the server.ini? That would be a big help.

I'm not sure that darker blue would work well with the transparency... Any chance you can make us a demo of what you mean Golden-Death?

I like 3, 4, and 5, but they could be better.

Not bad, not bad at all! Let's get some more input before I make a final :)

How does this look?


The colors are customizable by a server config now :D

Oh, I never answered Megiddo, sorry.
I like it, in case you didn't know already during some past conversation somewhere else.
