Feel free to remove all those fancy layers if you want. But when you decided to use my work it effectivly became our work. I don't see the need for the territorial pissing. I have different idea of how it should look, that doesn't mean we can't find a balance. I don't feel like spending days with shading the GUI if my work is going to be refered to as some fancy layers.
Don´t be so extreme, oll.
If I did the same with your work (that is, remove my interface), all that will be left is shadows and stains. Hardly an interface. But that would be stupid, and childish.
I have thanked you and recognized your lots of times. And I
love your fancy layers, as they are really good! (Is fancy a nice word, right? I mean, they are very good looking.)
But let´s put things clear, in the eyes of the codex: I´ve been doing the interface for three months, not only the effects but also the design, many things from scratch. That earned me the place of Official GUI Designer of AoD (and this is not something I´m making up). I really aprecciate your help with the coloring of the interface, and I REALLY want us to continue working on it. Maybe this is going to sound harsh, and please don´t take it the bad way, but this is my GUI with your help on the coloring and you will be recognized for your great addition to it, but it is not our GUI. In the last days I noticed (or felt) that you started to change more than what I needed help with, trying to compete with me, and I didn´t liked that. And that led to that unfortunate and silly phrase I said.
It would be really silly and sad if we parted ways, as I will have to do all your layers from scratch, and you would have to make a new interface from scratch. I´m sorry for that phrase I said, and I will like you to continue helping me with my interface, as your work really improved it. But I would also like that we work more in privately instead of competing for the codex approval, and that we release only one interface here. And also I would like to make clear that I have the final word on how the interface looks. But of course that doesn´t means that you can´t still try things and we can talk about changing something. Many times we will reach a point when we will have two good but different ideas, and I will choose the one I prefer. (ex. The icons: Yours and mine looks very good, but I decide to use mine. Another example, the background: I like mine, but that doesn´t mean that I can tweak it thanks to your suggestions).
Anyway, like I said before, I would like you to continue helping me with the coloring of the interface, and giving me ideas like VD and the rest of the Codex, and I´ll decide what I want to do.
Again I´m sorry if I was rude to you.
So, what do you say? Agreed? Still friends?
