The Powder Toy

Control panel

  • randalserrano     7th Jun 2011 Member 0 Permalink
    I am currently making a control panel for one of my creations. I need to know what you people of powder would like to see in a control panel so I can include it. Big buttons or small ones? button indicators or not? A lot of info on what the control panel does or just the minimum? Please help me out on this so I can make the optimum control panel for you. The more people to respond, the better I would know what you would want.

    wow, a little complex and large but i'll see what I can do.

    My personal preference is:
    medium buttons
    small light indicators (e.g. switch for on/off)
    minimum info about the button. People probably won't bother reading a long explanation of a button.
    high visibility.
    automatic options.
    e.t.c

    @The-Con
    Automation is going to be included with this control panel.
    Can you give an example of what a medium button would look like because there are different opinions about this.
    EDIT:
    When this gets released, in return for your opinions, I will allow everyone to be able to use this for their creations.

    Here is an example of what I would consider medium to small buttons.

    Thanks.
    What you probably would want to do is have more contrast between the buttons and panel board than I do.
