[REL] Better UI

Right corner.

@Cselt : I've detected an issue regarding to the exit button at the upper R corner, it disappears if you do this:
From the main page, race=> customize=>select the car on "single player", once the car menu is shown if you go back, the exit button has disappeared.

^^ Same here. Also occasionally chat stops working. Chat box remains but have to revert to default one to see new chats.

@mixer61 can you please send me your install logs? Just run the installer and once it finishes right click on a line an select "Copy Details To Clipboard". Then put that into a new txt file and attach please.

Nice catch, will be fixed in the next release

Hello,

Is it possible to change the glaring white and orange screens to something a little less eye burning?

Thank you!

Im pretty sure its a false alert, but I keep getting warnings from windows defender about the app

 

[mixer61]

It works well, now! Thank you.

Hi @Andy Bonar,
unfortunately that's true, the installer is not signed and what it actually does looks like a malware (unpack a file, modify, then re-pack)
To sign the installer I would need to purchase a signing certificate which is quite expensive, so I'm afraid we need to live with that warning, sorry (Or integrate changes to the official build, haha )

...not to mention, a windows defender exception... google or youtube.

Edit: My bad, I meant duckduckgo.

No problem, understand that Just thought might be worth mentioning.
Yes, it woudl be good if it was in the offiical build, so much better

@Cselt hopefully not bugging you, but is something like this possible?

Thanks

What screens are you referring to? Do you want to see a dark theme?

That would be awesome!

This may not fall under UI, but I notice names aren't visible while driving. They have been missing from VR since vr was introduced, but now tabbing driver names is gone for everyone. Maybe this was done on purpose, making it more realistic. Any idea?

Version 3.1.0 is available!

In this version I added an exit button to the hated installing content popup. Unfortunately I didn't find a way to stop the downloading/installing process so as a workaround I added the exit button (it's still better than killing rf2 in the task manager)

I also added a race button to the navbar in the event view:

I'm sorry but a dark theme is not on my list. That would be a huge work for me.

I already tried to fix that annoying bug, but I guess the issue is in the C++ layer where I can't make changes.

at least for me, the exit button on the mod download window isnt appearing, also sometimes it appears 2 exit game buttons on top right. but beside that, its working very smoothly

I confirm the two exit buttons on main screen.
