Team Pony Express and Team Prototype Rocks got together for some private time - the result was Kuromaku.

Literally, "Kuromaku"means "black curtain." The bureaucratic meaning refers to a person who directs the actions of others from behind.

Looks nice however its not easy to see if there are unread emails for non selected characters.

Very nice so far indeed :)
Could use 3D to let us see the whole character (to make Walking In... Capitain's Quarter useful ! :D)
Also, the background could also be in 3D just like the old login page (maybe that's planned !)
And of course, a new login music to accompany this would be awesome !

I guess I can still be dreaming but.. yeah that's cool anyway :)

i support that!

Pls make a full body model of the character... maybe like, first you see all three chars standing , then if you klick on one it zooms in into portrait mode with all the stats... or vice versa.

My computer would probably go straight to the silicon heaven, having to render bodies of all three characters at once... :(

Looks really nice, though I still miss the nice animations we had in the background for each expansion with a unique soundtrack :)

9/10 for the new login screen.
(10/10 if paired with a graphical background loop animation :D)

Still very refreshing, thank you for your work!

I also like the idea of full body images for selection, the current look is one of character or "ID" cards, which isn't a bad idea, but its screen-center, on top of whatever expansion artwork or animations are planned.

For character "ID cards", consider stacking them on top of each other, right or left side of screen, with some transparency, or hide text data and roll it out on mouse-over, so you can maximize the screen area for expansion artwork or animations.

For the full-body portraits idea, its not necessary to do them in 3-D, they could be pre-rendered and displayed in character selection as 2D images. With a small amount of zoom-in; display "ID card" info, as we mouse-over, or select, each character.

Alternately, the "choose your bloodline" fully animated selection UI in character creation - is awesome, consider borrowing some of that code :)

And yet, all we do here is selecting a character - its not a huge part of the game in any way. Nothing fancy or elaborate is really needed, a list view could've sufficed for me :p

I can't say I am fond of the trading card look that it has. It is not to have a theme page back even if it is red. It is kind of campy more animated looking and the enter eve button does not quite match the flow of the rest of it. It is striking but I liked the news (if it was updated) and such.

I kind of imagined full-body avatar char selection with active-ship background flyby of the active ship like ISIS; before I was on Sisi.

That said, in a 2D setting, what I've seen of Sisi also works. Like it.

It seems to go a lot quicker than before, though it would be nice if theres a bit of animations going around, not just a dead inanimate screen.

I know its much of a WIP still so I don't know if this was the plan or not.

Definitely needs music (probably on the way since this is WIP) I always look forward to hearing what the new soundtrack is for login page of an expansion.

Also hopefully this is more than a front-end pretty-up job. Hoping for switching characters without exiting game?

Its ok. I was hoping for something a bit more showy and animated.

something like this
My mockup

The elements (which would all be animated) would be for your default (favorite? last used) character. And would be the following.
Current system background
Nearest celestial (planet)
Current location (station or ship)
Your avatar

Then you could have your other elements over the top (current ISK, Skills, other characters).

Please dont force showy animated stuff on us, it will be another painful blow to multiboxing.

Yup.

Of course what would be awesome for multiboxers would be the ability to merge all our accounts (effectively paying for login slots and training queues), then have a character selection screen where we assign characters to log-in slots, then launch all the game clients at once. That character selection screen would be worthy of an animated background with theme music.
