TKrazyO Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I brought this up after the races that I wanted to change the main stream screen presentation mainly due to the real estate on the screen itself. Here's the current overlay to give an idea: The game screen is adjusted to fit inside the border so the only parts blocking the screen would be the indicators below. I was planning on moving them to the bottom corners but Kristin suggested the top, so I did just that. Here's the one I made last night after the stream ended with the same color overlay: Spoiler I also made one an hour ago using my dark blue background image as the base for the overlay color as you'll see below: Spoiler One similar to this I'll be using for Smash on Saturday! On both new ones the little tabs under the names and Miis are a bit transparent so you can see through them. I'll likely move the date/time to the bottom of the border or just get rid of it entirely. I think being on the top was a good call since not much is blocked during a race, only during course selection and the score loading screen before races. Also don't know if I'll keep the chat at the bottom middle of the screen. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this more appealing to outside viewers (or you if you watch the stream when not playing) feel free to share. Comment on how these two new ones look. It might not apply to everyone but I'll tag a bunch of people so this isn't buried until next Thursday! @Surge135 @TheBarkinHyena @alienboyva @DLurkster @purple_beard @avalonknight @Kezay Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 @TKrazyO: I get with 2 things you wanted a change and to prevent blocking scores between loading. I was finer personally with them the way they are and the time in the top right corner. (leave the time, will get to that in a moment) Now moving your names to the top corner (with or without tabs), not a bad idea but if you didn't noticed the where you will move the names will partially block the item roulette wheel. May not be important but thought to bring that to your attention. With that said, not against the change of the name to the top, actually what about placing the names exactly perpendicular from the bottom to the top? You won't block the course name or scores when loading as there's space there to do that and of course you won't block the item roulette either. Sound like a plausible solution to me. As for the time/date because of my suggestion, it can stay where it is, in addition the chat... to me no matter where you put it will be in the way of something, just like your names I was fine with where it was. I'll make that your call to leave as it, move it somewhere else or remove it altogether. As I said no matter where you move it, will be in the way of something and I am fine where it is honestly. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment
TKrazyO Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I was able to find some screenshots and video I saved (but hadn't deleted) on my Switch to get a better idea on how the overlays look/would look in action. Image Warning Current Spoiler In Race Track Selection Track Picked Loading Track New v1 (Current color scheme) Spoiler In Race Track Selecting Track Selected Loading Track New v2 (New color scheme) - Ignore the Date/Time position Spoiler In Race Track Selecting Track Selected Loading Track I do see how v1 partially blocks the item slots and the course selection bits but with a bit of work (redoing it cause reasons) it can be fixed. 4 hours ago, DLurkster said: With that said, not against the change of the name to the top, actually what about placing the names exactly perpendicular from the bottom to the top? You won't block the course name or scores when loading as there's space there to do that and of course you won't block the item roulette either. Sound like a plausible solution to me. I'm going to try to guess what this means using an example with these three pictures below. They all have something at the bottom of the screen to gauge this off of. Spoiler I made the white bar transparent so you could see the border on the bottom. It relates to what I'm asking. By perpendicular did you mean along the bottom border or right above it? Just taking the name portion (minus the Miis) and moving them onto or right above the bottom border? The white transparent bar is the area not being blocked by in-game areas during the tournament so that's what I'd be working with. As far as the chat goes, with it being something I need to completely overhaul I don't mind it blocking the center too much. All I can think of for now since I've been trying to post this for the past hour. Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 @TKrazyO : Exactly perpendicular, indicated by the arrows below The way you have them at top corners look small, which is good because if you just raise the names it would partially block the item roulette a smidge. See how it looks just bringing them straight up, from there shrink the names to reasonable size where you can see the names still but won't block the item roulette. Quote Link to comment

Spoiler Doesn't look bad. The size was based on the track selection screen so it wouldn't overlap the selection message bar. Now I'm just thinking what color scheme to use. This color I'm using for the Smash stream overlay. DLurkster 1 Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 @TKrazyO: Yeah, like that. The color scheme you are using for the Smash overlay makes sense so why don't match theme for theme, Ultimate with that dark overlay and use the MK 8 logo color has the overlay. This. Use the gradient look as the overlay for the border and names. TKrazyO 1 Quote Link to comment
TKrazyO Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) I'll see what I can do. Here's the video appropriately titled! Edit: Didn't want to make another post about it so I'll use this one. @DLurkster Here's the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe stream overlay (unless someone wants me to change it): Edited July 12, 2021 by TKrazyO DLurkster 1 Quote Link to comment
