Hi all, appreciate the work on this launcher, so here are a few quality-of-life improvements I’d like to see for the UI:
General improvements:
Window sizing: Currently, in windowed mode, the Kyber launcher has a minimum width. Allow dynamic resizing to match user experience in maximized windows (e.g. portrait mode, different display types, etc.)
Home Tab:
Server ping: add visual information for the ping to the server list.
Pagination: allow customization of number of servers in list (e.g. 10, 20, 50, all).
Scrolling text: When the text field for a server, such as the server name, is longer than the window width, implement a slow text scroll.
Filter for multiple subcategories: Allow selection of multiple subcategories (e.g. search multiple regions such as NA & Europe, or multiple game modes such Blast & Strike)
Server side panel detail: The “Info” tab on the side panel of the server list has a textbox for description but nothing else. Add additional context about the server in a child sub panel, such as basic server configuration, player lists, etc.
Host tab:
Add option for server configuration presets (create, load, save) to allow quick switching of hosting options for different game modes, map rotations, or mod collections. The export and import system is great, but would be better served built into the UI.
As is, there is no current way to select individual mods- they must be included in a collection, but this is not obvious. Add a selection tool for installed mods or collections, or visually note the requirement for mods to be inside a collection before they can be selected, if this is due to a technical requirement.
Mods tab:
Streamline the user experience for first-time users: Introduce a button for “Add Mods” that either opens the “Browser” tab, or otherwise calls attention to the workflow of installing a mod. As is, the UIX is not very intuitive to install the first mod as first time user.
Similarly, streamline the creation of a mod collection, or add a first-time tooltip explaining the purpose of collections and the importance for server hosting.
Anyways, thanks for the work you’ve all put in already and I’m looking forward to the next release.
