This particular update is one I have been debating whether or not to release for a few weeks now. I'm hoping my decision to show this will result in some feedback on it.

Unforunately, the new 18 button commandset required reorganizing of the commandbars for all three factions. The US and China command bars will have undergone the same modifications the GLA one below has, I'm limiting the update to the GLA one though.

It looks great, though something just doesn't seem right about the money indicator. It may be better if you linked it more to the command bar than the selection window. Or it may be better were it at the top left of the entire command bar. (I haven't tried this but extending the red piece up past the level of the pipes and then inserting the clock in the new larger red space could be intesting)

I did a pair of small modifications, but unfortunately as I could not get my image editing software to work properly (something is broken) I had to do it in paint.

Point 1 is a continuation of the bevel to make the changes more seamless
Point 2 is a small movement of the bottom to fix a tear present since the original ea version
Also another area that may need a bit of work might be around the troop image window at the top left and around the left side of the power indicator, as the new changes make these look a tad bit odd

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with the money indicator, I just settled on the current position. The other things you pointed out will be fixed.

I think the new design is okay, but I would enjoy it if a clock could be incorporated

I can definitely agree with the clock, Command and Conquer is one of the easiest games to completely loose track of time in.

A clock will be added if I have extra time. For right now it is not a priority if any kind.

true true but it looks good nevertheless

beyond the eternal pleasure of war, when the dead rule and the living die, and the pain of destruction has reigned. when skulls are crushed under the threads of heavy metal. when this time comes i shall arise and rule you all HAIL TO THE KING. praise all forms of xeno for they inherit the future
