Thanks Chris. I hope other users are also liking it :D

So do I still need to adjust the artwork then or will it be in addition to the disclaimer?

Multiline labels ARE possible.

Just use "<html>Words<br>morewords</html>" in the setText.

wow, that's just plain freaky. html in basic swing components? that is so . . . Izzet. {UR}

thanks, rob. :) i wrote a Mantis issue about moving the progress bar into the lower area, but now i'm not sure which to put there.

edit: still, i would prefer something that took care of word wrapping for me.

Yeah... I was rather surprised.. but that's what some research revealed, when googling "word wrap JLabel". I needed it for the BugzReporter screen, so "Additional Information" would fit in the label column.

can we get consensus on the splash screen? how about we extend it to 450x550 to allow for extra text and a progress bar?

@moomarc, don't worry about firing up your graphics software just yet. :)

:wink: I'm a freelance designer, illustrator AND 3d artist so my graphics software is ALWAYS fired up. :lol: I'll keep an eye out for the consensus here though.

Anyway we can combine the random rare from the next screen into this one? Maybe some text underneath the book stating "Bonus Rare" and just tacking the Rare in that list?

And note that there is a chance to win 10 random rares instead of just one. It does not happen very often but it should be considered. :wink:

I won 10 rares the other day for the first time and thought it was a bug! But a very nice bug. :D

Yeah, the first time I saw it I too felt that it might have been a bug. It is a nice surprise though.

Thanks for good reviews

As for combining all the rewards into one window - that it the next logical step, because once you win a battle, up to 4 windows can pop up (1.here's your booster, 2.you gained credits, 3.you won random rare, 4.Once_per_80_wins you win 10 rares). There should be only one, however it should be informative, so that player understands which reward is given for which action.

The question is "how should it look like":
- should there be titles in the list?
- should there be a separate scrollable panel which contains both headers and contents for each reward type?
- like anything completely different?
