Contributors Popular Post Maverick Posted February 7, 2019 Contributors Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Hello, Everyone! As you all know xat is currently updating their interface. xat first had the chats being ported over to HTML5 and it's Homepage, now xat is moving and focusing on wider aspects around the website. So this brings me to say, the Shortname page is being updated at the moment. It's currently in testing (beta) form and will soon be available to all. What's new? The page will say "xat store" instead of "xat" now. Helps users know we're at xat's store page. A couple new tabs will be displayed on the store, such as: buy xats & days, power, short name, auctions, promotion, ads, get group. [Those tabs are subject to change in the future]. This is a screenshot of the Beta Version Shortname page. Direct link for a full view can be viewed here when purchasing a shortname. The page may be subject to change in the future along side many other aspects on how its viewed. Getting some feedback in this area would be great on how to improve it, or comments on what you guys think. Thanks and stay tuned for updates. Edited February 7, 2019 by Maverick Page updated. New screenshots. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Leandro Posted February 7, 2019 Advanced Members Share Posted February 7, 2019 ''If your short name is unused for 90 days it may be sold again'' I think that should be changed for one year (the actual amount) and maybe add as well something regarding to creating a ticket for it to be released. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteers Sydno Posted February 7, 2019 Volunteers Share Posted February 7, 2019 It may be sold if unused for 90 days, that's the current rule. We just don't enforce it out of respect for the users who bought a shortname. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Jedi Posted February 7, 2019 Advanced Members Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hey, Sorry to be like that, but why are they moving those pages to this new "ugly" (my opinion) template? Why don't they simply integrate html5 chat to the current bootstrap template? Or create a new template from Bootstrap 4 if they want something new? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Devil Posted February 7, 2019 Members Share Posted February 7, 2019 bootstrap 4 would be a great approach then this ugly layout. anyways its just a suggestion..... and i think we need to do some kind of change then this blue and dark blue gradient why always same gradient because of our chat layout?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributors Sergio Posted February 8, 2019 Contributors Share Posted February 8, 2019 I don't really like the template either. I'd rather have a "xat store" page where you can find information about what xat has available for purchase (and easy access to them) and keep every single page separated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't what you're describing the same thing we currently have? Why should everything be separated? All links will be kept as it currently is, I mean, if you access xat.com/powers you will be sent to that new page with powers tab selected. For those who dislike the new design, we're open for better design suggestions, as it's still being worked on and what has been showcased here is subjected to changes. We'd like to see what you can come up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know you would keep every link for each tab, so I guess it will be as I imagined above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteers Popular Post Lemona Posted February 8, 2019 Volunteers Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2019 I agree with Sergio. Personally, I don't see why it's necessary to have 2 types of toolbars at the top there. The template is very basic and has way too much blank white space on the sides. It's not very visually appealing either. Take this sample for example (I know it isn't perfect!!): I really hope that something like this is the direction that this is going. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributors Maverick Posted February 9, 2019 Author Contributors Share Posted February 9, 2019 Interesting feedback's from everyone. Even though most were "its ugly", I still read it and it was interesting to some degree. The gradient will be staying since that's xat's style from the start. I don't see why the gradient should be removed for - if that's their style and it makes no sense to remove it because it would make the page look worse. Take a look at Sloom's screenshot. What template is being used here? I am confused on that. I've tried looking into this "template" we used and I don't see the word template, or a specific way it should be placed. It's all based on what's used the most around xat. Purchasing xats, powers, shortname and so on. Am I missing something here? Bootstrap is being used here for those saying "USE IT!!". Just wanted to make that clear here. Having two toolbars isn't much of an issue here. It's a store and those tabs seems to be necessary to have in a store. Sure the store tab in the first toolbar could do the trick, but if someone wants a quick draw when they are in the store, then its right there for them. Think of it as hotkeys. What black and white spaces are on the sides? Please screenshot and show. The text, the icons and everything else could be wider to fill the screen up to make it more "appealing" and feel more "modern", but that won't be happening as for the time being. (Not sure if you're talking about that as well). I have also dumb it down for your "xat store" demo with a screenshot of mine. Feel free to give an input on it. Link can be found here. Before jumping on a bandwagon, please think about your post and figure out ways to make it better than give redundant comments like "its ugly", "it horrible", etc etc, because it doesn't help. 1 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Damien Posted February 9, 2019 Advanced Members Share Posted February 9, 2019 Think the design looks very nice! Specifically, I like that the xat Store seems to contain everything on the same page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen Twitter orange? Have you seen Whatsapp blue? Companies have colors that defines them. It's their brand. xat's brand is blue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteers SLOom Posted February 9, 2019 Volunteers Share Posted February 9, 2019 The question is: Why would xat change their main color ? They have always used blue color since the first website. I'm pretty sure that if you don't like the blue color, you can do your own css code for the website even tho, it's not user friendly but just to say that xat is probably not going to change the blue color. Now the main subject of this thread was about buyshortname page. Better we get idea to improve it and not only about the template. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The friend search bar sounds interesting, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The friend search bar sounds interesting, though. More importantly is the "Favorite Chats" tab. Lets you easily go to your favorite chats. BUT the below is a good suggestion: Friends list with ability to chat with a user like you do on facebook messenger on the website/app. xat is now HTML5 so I would assume a chat feature is feasible. Currently the xat mobile app feel "bulky". Maybe they can add a feature that makes it as simplistic as facebook messenger.
