Part of the GUI is round while the other part has sharp egdes, I suggest staying more consistent. The Join and Create button could do with being more “into” the main GUI (Like how tabs look like in the chrome browser) The entire color just seems a bit too bright and simple.
Gonna make it probably a bit harsher than it needs to be, but I hope you take it in a well manner. It isn’t good. You can improve on every single little detail. The join and create at the top partially intersect into the main frame, a little pet peeve for me. Lots of empty space. Font choice. Colour choice. Obnoxiously large contents. Random cog? Make the open button closer to the side of the screen. Feel free to reply/message me if you have any further questions.
It looks good so far but if you want people to really be inspired by it you should use stuff like UI gradients, maybe animate the gui too. But overall, great work on the gui!
It needs a lot more detail, I think you should add a darker frame behind the buttons to make them have shadows. Some of the buttons have UICorner’s and others don’t. I would also suggest using an image for the open button instead of having it just show text, it would also help people figure out what the button is for.
Difference is, that UI uses only hard edges, whilst his uses both round and hard edges. I agree hard edged UI does look goo, but not when combined with rounded edges.
It looks very basic and boring. I’d say to make sure you stick to a theme of rounded corners or sharp corners as well as a color theme to make it seem more appealing to your audience.
Together with the font, the color, proportions and edges, I don’t like this GUI.
I prefer UI with one theme, yet yours feels like it had no particular theme going for it. The tabs at the top are awkwardly spaced, and way too tall for my liking, they don’t feel like buttons but more like something holding the UI up. When using rounded edges, don’t make 2 frames touch it just generally looks bad. The colors of the buttons inside the frame are way too saturated and don’t compliment each other at all, and have a weird spacing between them.The map image is not centered nor sized in a way that I would.The font and font size feels off, especially with the text in the open button touching the sides. Too much is going on in this UI, it’s overcomplicated and inconsistent.
Now to add some positive feedback;
To go more with the google chrome tabs design you mentioned, remove all the rounded edges and more the Create and Join buttons all the way to the left, and make them less tall. Next, use a UILayout for all the buttons inside the GUI, to make it look more organized. And stick with 2 complimenting colors from perhaps a color wheel. This will give your UI a soothing and calming effect, allowing players to look at it for longer than lets say a bright blue background
And yeah, remove the borders by putting border pixels to 0, borders never really fit into UIs like those.
