GUI package icon (little) improvement

[Kinsu]

The current package icons has "Yes/No" labels to indicate if the add-on is installed or not. The "Yes" label has a red background :

I think that to visually make more easily the difference between the "Yes" and the "No", it should be Green :

Ideally the package icons should be replaced with previews and the installed/featured status could be indicated in colored text best (overlay icons on top of preview would have too high chance of clashing with preview image).

Here's how it looks now:

Kinsu, I agree, though I find that putting bright red next to bright green is not so pretty :/ maybe we can improve the color palette?

[Kinsu]

OK, but which color ?
The green is the opposite of the red, and it's also a color code (yes = green / no = red)...

Wouldn't it be possible to use the kart's logo once it's downloaded (for the case of karts of course)?
And track previews for tracks as was suggested...(but those should be in the addons...)

[Kinsu]

I was originally just posting these icons as a quick fix for this little GUI problem (as I know developers are very busy ^^)... but let's brainstorm !

I think it would be clearer to show the installed add-ons only in a "downloaded" tab, and to show an individual icon for each type of add-on (track/kart, maybe new types later ?), if it cannot be done for each different add-on

Splitting it up to "installed addons" as well would make sense yeah.
But I think it's best to have tracks and karts separated like now, so it's easier to find what you're looking for. Me, as an example, I don't care much for karts (yet) since they have mostly the same behaviour as of now, so I don't play much with addon karts. Tracks, on the other hand...

[Kinsu]

Yes, so for not installed add-ons : tracks & karts tabs. The installed ones can be merged in the installed tab I think.
(ideally, this could be a single list with filters : type, author, featured, installed ... )

[Arthur]

I wholeheartedly agree.

[Auria]

Regarding splitting them; I think better not since we're just out of screen space :P

And i agree displaying the kart icon would be ideal for karts (not sure what to display for tracks)

[qubodup]

IMHO: tracks should show a shot of the track, karts should show kart preview render.

For tracks, what about using smaller sizes of the images on the track selection screen?

[Kinsu]

This size depends on your current resolution. I agree sometimes they are too big...
