Hi guys,
Here's a chance for world-wide fame and fortune...well, okay, no fortune, and fame only within the world of LFS, but fame none the less.
The background:
After some discussions with Tim NL and fire_optikz, there is a lot of interesting deveopment going on, and I have a few "grand plans" for my own Lapper servers, that could seriously benefit from a common look & feel to make Lapper more appealing. One bugbear for me is that each contributors buttons look & feel completely different, and that causes me to either shy away from using a particular plug in or just get confused.
The challenge:
Design a GUI look & feel that can be easily adapted and used by other Lapper admins so that Lapper looks "integrated". Some guidelines to follow are:

- It should be able to support a tab bar to access multiple screens of information
- Text colours should be visible when the game shows darker and lighter backgrounds
- Text should be easy to read at any resolution (ie not too small - except for the tabs)
- It should be able to be configured for different languages
- The entire interface should not overwrite any LFS race buttons
- It can include infobars on top and bottom of screen
- Add/minus buttons should act the same way as LFS (ie when using a plus button, right clicking increases a numeric by 5, left by 1)
