Topic: Sidebar grouping

I think for better look on side bar, some button or shortcut can be in group.

1. Empire overview + council + fleet + planet ---> Empire [HQ] [Council] [Fleet] [planets]
2. Galaxy map + quick view ---> Galaxy Map [xx],[yy]:[pp] (go)
3. Family +++ ---> [News] [Aid] [Forum]
4. Covert operations + Magic --> Covert Ops | Magic
5. Message + Personal Log --> Message | Logs

Just a litle idea, or may be we can have option or theme like old side bar.

Re: Sidebar grouping

Some sort of grouping by category would be nice, especially for new players.
Most vets are used to the marble layout but shouldnt be a problem to get used to a new sidebar setup

Re: Sidebar grouping

I actually wrote about this in chat earlier smile

It needs a bit of Organization.  Didn't htink about it fully, but we could have some sort of stuff like

Empire
- HQ
- Council
- Planets
- Research

Social
- Messages
- Family
- Forum
- Diplomacy

Attacking/Offensive
- Fleets
- Build Units
- Map
- Quick View
- Magic/Ops


That's kinda what I had in mind - but yea, could be a better way to organise - and a better design too.

Re: Sidebar grouping

whatever the grouping is, kould you do the bar move with the mousewheel?  it is very annoying to be rolling up everytime you go to kounzil, planets, HQ, fleet, family, messages, ... all

Re: Sidebar grouping

That is a good idea you had before, yea.  Not sure how possible with this setup and design - would need a bit looking into.

Re: Sidebar grouping

What if rather than a sidebar that has everything in one place, we had 4 links that sent you to pages designated for attacking, empire, social, and map.

Would do away with Render's idea, but I'm not sure if it would be more or less functional for phones.

Re: Sidebar grouping

Yea, but wouldn't that be additional clicks?

I mean, if you were on your fleet build screen, and wanted to check your planets page it'd be like -> Empire -> Planets.

Re: Sidebar grouping

there should be more options for different side bars, i think this 1 is way to big its almost 1/4th of your screen i would love a smaller bar big_smile if you go to fam forum you almost lose half of your screen because of the sidebar.

ic looks good but it should be a bit smaller it overrulez to much for players that don't want a sidebar, make a option to hide it ?
