Redesign song menu #312
Comments

I've got some ideas and I want to make changes. I'm just unsure how fast it will go. =P Will probably need some assistance as I am lacking a bit in coding experience, but I could try make some rough mockups with the ideas and go from there. |
|
Yeah, would be a good start... I can help you with coding I guess ;) |
|
I think it would be nice to also have the ability to group songs by the |
|
Uh. You could sort them and set tabs to on in game config? Or do you mean something different? I've seen #ALBUM in some songs, currently not sure i've we read this. But won't be a problem to add... But year and genre are more common. |
|
Oh. Upsi. Didn't know this feature exists :D |
|
Maybe we could rename it ;) Providing sort options on songscreen would be nice, too?! |
|
Someone on facebook requested to have an option to navigate through songs and select them automatically (like usdx)... Maybe we could think about it when redesigning our current song menu, but I guess this wouldn't work nice for chess/list option. Maybe for caroussel? |
|
I would like to see some of the changes mentioned as well (especially grouping by artist, showing high score/s). Also would like to see...
|

It sure would be nice to have the year at least. And it would be nice have the option to opt out the ”the” as mentioned by AlexScudder. |
|
My idea was to put the song length to the left and add the year to the right of that song info box on the song screen. Someone against this idea? Someone have a better idea without to redesign the whole song screen? |
|
@AlecScudder and @daggeg If you add the following to the txt file of a song, it will do the trick: Same exists for the title: I just changed this for my songs and it is working good. I just created a pull request #475, that this will also used on typing the first letters of the artist or title on the song screen (without using the search function). |
|
#477 adds displaying song year to song screen. So the most stuff of this issue are now possible, maybe not as final implementation, but useful. |
|
@flokuep With the last additions to the develop branch I would say this issue is done for a possible version 0.5 now. But I let this issue open for a real redesign of the song screen later (0.6+)? |
|
Hey all, here is a re-design of song screen. I made it with inkscape. Would be nice to get help from a coder to implement this / and or to get feedback of UI Desigers. ScreenshotsStatus Quo Re-Design Re-Design (with Playlist overlay) |

I really like the new screen! We should keep two things in mind:

Good points! 👍🏻 🙂 Keyboard navigation:
Song Options menu:

Good design! But why not pick up the best parts of the last SingStar version? The home menu is perfect, but maybe we can mix both designs on songs list. Sample: |
That would be nice if there would be a choice to make in-game, but not at the cost of the present design. If you have a couple of thousand of songs in the game you don't want to scroll through the songs the way it was in SingStar. But as an alternative, sure. |
I suggest making a seperate issue:
@alexaf2000 would you enjoy making this additional view? You seem to have experience with that already. I'm totaly tied up with the "tiles view" and already thinking about a mockup for statistic screen. |

Nope, not that much complexity, because they are seperated in different files/class. But: If we add new features, they need to be added to all song menus. The more styles we have, the more code needs to be adjusted e.g. if there is a new options implemented for singing.
Yep, I guess it's working that way.
Okay, got it. I guess we should think more in different selection modes for at least keyboard navigation. If the song is selected and the song-menu is opened, coming back to the song navigation only works with hitting escape. That needs to be made clear to the user, e.g. with dimming the rest of the screen. Otherwise the use would expect to jump back to song selection with hitting the right-arrow button. We should also take in concern, that there are more buttons necessary as soon as #627 and #625 are implemented. Same goes for the implementation of game modes (#181). What about reducing that to
The first two preferred displayed by a simple icon. For the customizing of the next song, we could think about a new "global" button, that would lead to a new screen that shows all options for singing like the song length, game mode, audio mode etc. These options could be persisted within the configuration file. Same goes for the profile selection, I suggest to add for that a global button, too. Both screens could provide an option to configure if that screen should be shown before a song starts or not. This would lead to a more simple ux-flow if you sing in a small group with people, all with a dedicated microphone, but also keeps in mind, that you want to change the profile or options before singing starts. |
a) two views: Tiles / coverflowgood to know. So we can have these two views (tiles/coverflow) without complications. b) song selection pop upyes you're right. How about following solution then? c) song options and gameplay settings screentotally agree with your suggestion (for gameplay settings and profile selection). |
d) controlsVocaluxe song screen control: Keyboard:
Gamepad:

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
Our song menu could get some improvements, because there are some feature requests that need some space...
We should first do some concept arts/mockups for this before start working. @Jiiniasu Do you have time and desire to work on this? ;)
Regarding options-menu: We could move song-options in something like a context menu, that popups at the song when clicking on it, the more general options could be moved to a options bar and stay visible all the time?
