Small UI suggestion

[Drow7]

What do you think about putting little transparent progress bars for each tech?

Just a quick paint job to show you the idea...

Why not. But it isn't this important because you will get a notice when the tech is finished, and if you miss it, you won't have any research penalties because they explained in the stream that the research is saved and stacked.

Its more about knowing WHEN will you get that new tech and not having to open research window each time to check it.(i do that often in games)

It would have been a nice feature, I think.

I'm not disagreeing Just wanted to share my hard acheived knowledge about stellaris

Might make a subtle underline below the value. Could do the same for resources to show how far you are from filling the stock.

Yes for ressources it would even be more usefull, or at least a notation like this:

3250(+2)/5000 965(+11)/6000 513(+6) +7 +5 +5

Something like this:

Something like this:

In my opinion, slightly more transparent version of the first pic would do better.

 

[Tim_Ward]

Perfectly sensible idea.

 

[grandad1982]

Great ideas! UI improvements and tweaks are some of the most import IMO as they affect quality of life and accessibility for a wide range of players.

I like both approaches but I think the second suggestion by @Murmeldjuret is less distracting, even with more alpha on the filled bars. In each case: Good idea for a tweak!

 

[MyonenJoe]

I agree, excellent idea. I too favor Murmeldjuret's implementation.

 

[EmperorZelos]

This idea is bad, so horrendously bad that it goes all to the maximum bad and then crosses over to awesomely good.

I whole heartidly support this idea.

 

[Drow7]

I hope people realize that my graphic presentation is just QUICKLY done in PAINT to give idea about my suggesting.

In my head it was transparent progress bar behind icons and numbers(without thick border)

 

[MyonenJoe]

Could we get any feedback by the developers on this nice idea?

Seriously, this is a great idea, I would like either, but slightly prefer Murmeldjuret's approach. Which Dev should we tag?

I wouldn't mind it as long as it is a toggle in the settings. I personally prefer the original design more.
