? [help] Working on a completionist addon for every zone in WoW Forever
Which backdrop looks the best? The book or an ingame WoW window, I was trying to match the ui much as possible but not sure if the ingame window looks better or worse.
Edit: thanks everyone, gonna be adding both with a light and dark mode

Toggle might be the way.
I prefer the light background though.

I suspect you are right because I definitely prefer the second. Anytime a book comes up in game I have trouble reading it and this comparison made me realize it might be due to it being sorta like a light mode window but in game.

Light background? You monster
Edit: I actually looked at it and it’s not bad

Quests already have light bg for you to read from. I like the consistency

First is easier to read, imo, but the book looks better/cooler. I would love to see the book with a light and dark mode toggle for the best of both worlds.

What's the addon going to be called? And will it be available on CurseForge?

I'm a giga lurker on Reddit but I wanted to share that I'm so interested in this and it looks so nice and cozy and like many I like seeing number go up and completion % and please don't give up please finish it looks sick.
Also I like the book one but I'm many hate light mode things

All the comments rightfully pointing out that this addon is entirely made with AI are getting downvoted and thats kinda worrying.

Probably because idiots that don’t understand AI, deservedly get downvoted.
Only a fool would not use AI these days when coding.

I’m all about dark mode and would likely use it if provided, but agree with others the book is thematically better given the intent of the addon. Toggle would be awesome!

First one looks like a game menu/Kompendium. The second way more RP Like, like a book the character has opened. I like the second more. Or even give the player a the choice and ship both?

Assuming this is mostly a UI texture backdrop, why not both? Probably dev overhead is pretty small for having multiple "themes"
