I dunno, the menu could work. I rather like it, myself. What's wrong with putting labels on all of them?
To small :( , Home, FAQ, Help and maybe Forums would fit but Downloads and Development would look horrible. Still worth a shot though, I'll add em in and post it so we can see what it would look like.

Hrm, idk? Forums is stretching it on size and IF the change from Download to Get was OK it might not be to bad?

I'm working on a mock-up based on Q-necron's last one.

Here it is, don't blame be for bad quality, it was quick work. The "Latest happening" is a joke, don't come after my head if Art Revolution v2.22 isn't released on 2/22/2010 ;) !
The main purpose was to see how it'd look with a bigger hud, with text on it. I think that with the text and intuitive icons, it would be very efficient. Also, added a direct link to the Guide, so that it's more accesible. :rolleyes:

But that would take too much space, I think.

No, it would only take a bit more space than the current header.

Just a note, wouldn't "Home" be better placed in the center icon? I would make more sense and give you room for another link in the spare icon.

That looks sooooooooooo great.
And even original icons can be used:
Research=Help and FAQ (merged)
Factories=Download
Build=Development
Design=Home
Intelligence=Forums
Commanders=Link to http://lobby.wz2100.net/

I already said why that's a horrible idea. We're not using it ever.

Hrm, I'll see what I can come up with with that layout. Might be a delay as I'm getting my new laptop in today... :D Got to format and install Ubuntu and get all my stuff transfered over.

Another link for what page?

anyway: if q-necron liked anything on my mock-up, I can provide it (I am rather satisfied with the icons I've found :D )
