Map Border
« on: 11 Nov 2016, 14:20 (7 years and 4 months ago) »
VED needs to have a thin white outline around the map, because it's hard to tell what is the map and what isn't

Just make your own map border.

It’s not that hard.

You can already see the edges of the room via texture boundaries or background texture boundaries.

Not if there's nothing in the room.  All you'd need to do is draw a couple of rectangles under the map, so I don't know why you're so critical of this.  Then again, you really have no clue when it comes to user experience.

>user experience
And we’re talking about “user experience” as in, “Oh my design needs to be fancy and appeal to the user, and it needs to be really EZ so the user doesn’t have to conjure up much intelligence”?
If you have nothing in the room, you’re probably going to put stuff in it, or just leave it blank. And when you put stuff in it, then it gets EZier to see the room viewport boundaries, even though it’s already EZ. The only reason it would be not-EZ to see the viewport boundaries is something about brightness or contrast on your monitor.

I think you think he's talking about the main editor, but he's talking about the map.

Adding it in b15, before:
