Colour icons, user definable icons - I want to be able to identify classes of ship easily - I want to use icon X for interceptors and icon Y for logi. A simple pattern match against ship type to set the icon, or the default ones for no matches.

Bookmarks.....

My main look and feel wish would be to draw it on space without a window - a title bar is pointless, so are the spreadsheet lines, so is the visible window frame. When transparent it should really be transparent - I need to have it full height in case lots of stuff pops up, but when lots of stuff isn't there it takes up half my screen looking fugly.

Agree, the overview at the moment has a lot of functionality but the usability is terrible.

In addition to streamlining the overview interface, EVE should come with good presets for new players that are reasonable defaults for Mining/Travel/PvP/PvE.

this is the best idea i found in all of this forum... kudos on a very bright thinking

4. Configurable buttons column (betoli's idea)


Here are mockup images for this (betoli's) suggestion:

New column with action buttons:

The drop-down menu opened:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/398210buttoncolumnchooseaction.png

Of course, the available actions listed in this drop-down menu would change according to what the player selected (ship, stargate, asteroid...)

The arrow would be there to display the drop-down menu but (to speed up the management of this button during a fight) the player could use his "mouse wheel" over this button to switch the action. In this case he wouldn't have to click the arrow button to change the action.

All of this is pointless except quick filter box for typing. Pointless - because it can be done with existing filters and tabs (maybe not very "easily" but eve is not about "easiness", it's about using your brain instead of having everything ready under your hand). I know because I use it to - almost - full extent: 5 tabs, several thematic filters in each tab. It can cover everything you need and comfortably enough. If it can't - then you're doing it wrong.

p.s. Didn't read the whole topic.

Hi. I've been sent this more than once. People have been paying attention. I like the feel of it is you want.my personal opinion. I lost my overview settings with a reinstall and kind of gave up.

I know it is frustrating to not receive the feedback you are looking for with an idea like this. The CSM won't always be able to share what is going on with ideas and proposals. It can be infuriating for you.

However, we have our upcoming little things project whcihnis a great place to feature settings additions like this. I also have it in my personal player ideas and desires files.

Checking in, looking about.
Was asked to by my GOOD friend Reaver whathisname

btw I do really like the proposal, would use the living daylights out of it if it were put into the game

We have a great deal of ideas and suggestions regarding the Overview from players and most of the developers want to tackle it sooner rather than later. However, many of the developers that could take on such a project, revamping one of the most vital UI's in the game, have been working on the new Industry revamp for the past few months. The same group of developers has a plan to iterate on the Industry UI once it has been released next week to ensure it is the best it can be.

Once that is out of the way, many of us would love to look at doing a revamped Overview, but we need to discuss it with stakeholders and make sure it fits with the plans of EVE development teams. If it becomes a thing a team would take on, they would need to do extensive research and prototyping and run multiple SiSi deployments before considering replacing the current one.

So as much as I would like to promise you the world, this is the reality we live in and doing things any other way or rushing things would not have the outcome anyone wants.
