Preview: UI Update

Here is a preview of the upcoming UI update. As you can see, it's quite considerable. When I started, the system overlay was simple, so I made it a popup-window.

addedWhen the UI doesn't work anymore, it's no use tacking on even more hacks. So I moved it all into an entirely new layout. This is a fullscreen UI that opens when you click a new "open details" button on the (reduced back to its original) system window. It has everything in one place instead of six different windows.
changedI have also considerably increased the font sizes everywhere so it should all be much easier to read.
changedAbout half of the tabs are done now, and I want to improve the planet list and the local map before releasing an updated demo to you guys. Possibly later this month. We are getting there and I'm quite excited! :-)

When I started, the system overlay was simple, so I made it a popup-window. Then more details and features came and it grew and got drawers and other elements and then it became unwieldy.
