I've thrown up a change of all numbers into a LED like font (did it all by hand grr) anyway, what font should I use for the rest? same LED? I found an old typewritter font that looks cool; it has bits and pieces missing / added. I was thinking, anyone here ever play Fallout or Fallout 2? if so, i like the old looking push buttons. I can make great buttons; just no idea how to make them "old"

Stalker1 is a nice techy-type font; I used it for the text of a barcode. It looks very machine-readable, if you know what I mean.

I LOVE Fallout; even Tactics, which was a commercial failure. FO:BoS is the only Fallout I cannot love. I'm also not holding out hope for FO3.

I can do some grunging-up if you like; scratches and gouges and faded text and such. If you're using adobe, is it a .psd file you're using? If I could retain the layers, it would make it MUCH easier to grunge up the text and the button surface separately.

I'm using photoshop cs2 mixed with illustrator. if i have to, i also have been using macromedia fireworks (i know it's old but it does have some advantages) I'll throw a psd of the UI i'm working on to my website.

Here's a screenshot of "a work in progress" for the UI.

Toss me a .psd of the buttons you're using.

Better yet, it looks like you're using mostly layer effects; I'll pull the color you're using out of the image with my color picker, and remake it, then scuff it up four or five ways for four or five different buttons. If you're going for Fallout style, maybe a chisel bevel would work better?

Won't be able to do anything until tuesday, though.

honestly, i haven't really started on the buttons. what you see is merely a "place holder" god i hate using quotation marks...

anyway, internet permitting, i'll throw a PSD of what i did later on.
