I agree as well but I don't think the Movie Battles II menu would be the best for this. It does what needs to be done good but I don't think it would suit this mod well but that is imo.

Like Master Tholmai, I don't ever use the menu, but I definitely would be more inclined to use it if it were easier on the eyes and easier to navigate through. I think this is a great suggestion, and would not only help with the ease of use, but also with the further "personalization" of RPMod.
I'm with Gabe on this one, one hundred percent. I don't use the menu just because I find it less effective in comparison to the console, and frankly I just think its ugly.
Plus, we have to consider "marketing" the mod to non-JEDI when it hits v1.0, a new look would be enticing.

Bold added for emphasis. I also agree that this would help the overall 'feel' of the mod for public release.

Regarding the redesign of the menus, here is a proposal for the "Profile" menu:
I've kept the standard JKA asthetic for the moment. "Load Model" loads the model path typed into the text box, "Choose Model" would bring up the stock JKA icon-based skin menu, while "Custom" brings up the customisation screen. Other than the model preview, everything else is BaseJKA (although I couldn't be bothered recreating the icons for the Force and Saber screens).
If we're discussing redoing the menus, it might also be an idea to stick in a bit of code that tells JKA to render the GUI at the right aspect ratio for widescreen resolutions. The JKA menus are plain ugly at 1920x1080.

Akalenn, that's awesome! Don't think much of the HUD you're using, but as a character screen, that's pretty damn amazing.

That is exactly the sort of layout I had in mind! It looks both delicious and nutritious!

<3. Mommy, can I keep him?
Excellent work there. I have no talent for that kind of thing at all, so I just kind of mooch off of others.
Seriously, great job.

That is a very nice Profile Screen but I don't like the lack of a HUD. I guess beggars can't be choosers though.
