Icons for ban tab?
« on: September 20, 2013, 07:39:06 PM »
So I've been messing around more with the ban tab recently, and I was thinking about the lack of icons it has and was thinking it would be a nice touch to have it.



Is this something you would like to be in ulx by default?

I kinda like it.

Off topic but stil dealing with GUI-
Know what I really want?
An easy drop-in way for Gmod to make it bright text on a dark background like normal steam.
I'm vision impaired. I can barely see the menus...I usually use a magnifying glass to read them in Gmod.
The contrast is too bright for my impairment to be able to see it.

Wait, I've seen people sue for less.
I should sue Garry for blinding me more after I bought the product.

Do you mean this?

Good idea! I point Stickly this way, since he is the one owned by XGUI. ;)

I also think you're on to something with the white text.

Exactly! But not just XGUI (though it's a start).
I know/knew all along we (well, Stickly, but he as we as part of the team) could make XGUI any colors wanted.

I want all of Gmod's menus to default to a theme like that.
Spawn menu's, options, controls, etc.

I've seen an option in server listing to use the 'old' server listing method.
Unfortunately, it misses some new nice features, and, there's no option (that I can find) for once I'm in game.
I'm blind to 99% of the context menus without magnification.

Been quite some time since I've posted on this forums... Anywho

I feel this can't be too hard, I personally have no time to do this, as I don't even work on my addons, though this is a great idea. I'm not vision impaired as some unlike souls may be, but there are some times when the screen is really dark, and I have no clue what I'm doing.. :p

I do like those icons :)  (sorry for the very late response to this thread.) You've done good work in the past iSnipeu, keep it up! :)

I haven't had much time to work on XGUI at all recently, and I am totally open to anyone who has updates like this. Just submit a pull request on Github (or send me some kind of diff) and I'll take a look at it as soon as possible.

Once I get free time I'll do some more on it.

Also would you be interested in having a ban date column too? I added that to my server after some requests from admins for it, as they wanted to check the latest bans.

I'd be totally fine with that- add all the changes you think are useful/cool. :) We're planning on redoing the bans in ULib soon (or rather, when both of us have free time, which may not happen for a while), and I'll probably be redoing the XGUI module for it, but I'll be keeping the UI mostly the same, so any new things added now should be moved over. The main improvement I'll be adding is paged banlists with filtering/searching done serverside, so you only get the data from the server as you need it, and it will only come in a page at a time. It should reduce loads of issues on servers with tons of bans :)
