VoloderI would definitely make that start button the quickplay button, but make your quickplay menu fit into the bottom left corner like the MOTD panel. It would look super sick, I think. You could move the mail button to the taskbar.
Also, I think that your quit button is too far out of the way. Maybe put the motd button where the quit button is and move the quit button to the 'desktop' with the other main icons (maybe below the loadout button).
Overall it's really creative and pretty nice looking so far.
i tried to get the options and quit buttons on the desktop but i couldnt get the bg's to work on them without breaking them so i was forced to move it
this is only the start, ive still got too much more to do
