UI Improvements, Round 2: Match UI

[Doublestrike]

@slapshot - looks like the icon is off center...cheers. Had one more try but now I'm about out of ideas.

Looks like we've moved on to round 3. I'll get to work on the architecture.

The new homescreen would need to be gone over to add/remove options that have been changed, including removing the link to the LAF chooser.

Oooh ooh ooh! I totally put my hand up for this. If y'all remember, when I was just a young Forger I wanted to do this (several months ago). And it's finally time!

new home screen:
-click human deck
-click deck name
-click Select Deck
-click Computer Deck
-click deck name
-click Select Deck
-click Start Game

forgot "-click game type"...

Alphabetizing can be done easy. Not having to click Select Deck... I guess I could do that..

Anything you want to fix, please do...

Glad to have your blessing, now I can do it with a clean conscience. Actually, there's a bunch of ideas I've wanted to implement for a long time, so I'm looking forward to having a look and a fix. Hope you don't mind some slicing and dicing.

-I don't actually have to click the game type (it must default constructed).

-Sounds like Doublestrike is alphabetizing. Not having to click Select deck.. Maybe a double click in the selection list? What would be CrazySexyCool would be if it remembered the decks I set up for human and compy during the last game and defaulted those...

Meh. That really doesn't bother me much. Not nearly as much as not being able to read the buttons. (I can read them with the Rebel skin though, so there must be something different about that.)

@Doublestrike - what have you done?!

You fixed the FButton skinning issues on OS X!

[Doublestrike]

!!!!!! WHAT!!! Fixed, as in, they work now? I just moved one line of code to be after another line of code.

Ooooohh yeahh....

Screenshot?

Would be CrazySexyCool if ...

Will do. Actually will be making a lot of changes...it is sort of hard to use right now...

They aren't quite perfect, but much, much closer to perfect than before:

Ahh, the alignment has come back to bite us. Darn alignment.

Otherwise, awesome!

Keyboard actions on the input buttons for both UIs were lost (in r12518? I think).

Running another test of the new UI at 800 x 600 using rev 12525. The text in the NW panel scales nicely except that the Log text appears to be in one size only.

Oh, I also use a Mac and it is nice to be able to read the text inside of the buttons once again.

I was using the new Homescreen almost exclusively since Rob finished it so thought I'd mention some of the other things I've noticed up to this point so you can watch out for them from the start:
- Selecting random deck for either player will crash Forge if it's the first game since starting.
- After that it will use the last used decks instead of a random one (but doesn't crash at least). If you can see what it's doing here it might help with the request to make the last played decks default as the new selection.
- I can't get sealed deck or draft to work (NPE crashes)

The other bits I noticed were all mentioned already.

Speaking of which, how do I use the different homescreens?

Initially you had to add an environment variable, but now its the default one so you don't need to do anything except have the most recent commits
