Left Side Option Suggestion (Duplicate Option?)
« on: April 30, 2011, 04:52:30 PM »
I don't know if it's just me, but the "Shadows on Rings" options seems kind of alone, and out of place. It should probably go below with the dust options.

Yea I does but now I've noticed, why is it even needed with the "Shadows & Light on Dust" option? They both seem to do the same thing.

Yes. They are duplicate options.

I move it up to the top because it's a cool feature that would otherwise be missed.

Reorganizing the Options panel is something I'd like to do in a future update.

Any thoughts on the best way to improve the organization of the options?

I think that hiding more obscure options is also something that makes sense.

What if you could customize the options panel, so the stuff you use more often is right there!

Mabye have the option groups compile? Like have "View Options" with a down arrow next to it. When the arrow is pressed all the options for view drop down. Also having a way to save options would be great.

This is five OR three OR 238569137 ideas.
I do not OR do recommend that factual relativism is nor OR is a setting in OR outside the simulation settings.

I hope you understand my language. It's very simple, the best features from different categories collected after you first open the menu, and then the rest of the features after you've bothered to hover the mouse above the edge of the menu.

Blaism has 7 crashed per hour? That's one reason I'll never be Blaist.

Understand? :)
Here, I moused over the yellow edge of Category 2. So all sorts of silly features pop out to the right and fill out the screen. But a few of the most awesome features in Category 2 are in the menu on the left.
