Buttons on latest nightly build?

[evanerichards]

Quick question on the latest nightly build. All the buttons on the top of the VFB are all black and white. Is that how it is supposed to be? And if so, why the change?

Is that how it is supposed to be?

They are like this, yes. Whether they are supposed to be like that, is a question for the UI artist that designed them Apparently us mere programmers are not worthy to give advice on what looks good and what doesn't

And if so, why the change?

We decided to change them, since the old ones were, let's admit it, quite ugly. From then on, you can't imagine the fight that followed They went through a number of versions, ranging from candy-colored to completely grey, with no consensus in sight. In the end, we just had to include what we had as a latest revision.

My guess is that they will be revised again at one point.

Best regards,

Haha. Fair enough. Just wanted to check.
I vote for colored. Much easier to tell them apart.

+1 Colored - It should resemble whatever is in the latest version in Max - I think all the VFB should be uniform.

The VFB UI is new it is not in the released version of V-Ray for 3ds Max yet. It could be weird, but I love the new style. Looks more professional for me. Anyway as Vlado said our guess is that it will be revised.

Best

+1 Coloured

I actually haven't even seen the latest build, but I even thought the old VfSU buttons were too similar. I switched them out for my own cheesey custom png buttons with a green apple for render, paint bucket for materials etc just to make them easier to identify at a glance.
