We recently did a UI overhaul and are wondering which version is best? (A or B?)

Pain Points:

• UI elements are too bulky and take up too much screen space
• Borders are too thick and lack personality
• Potion icon is disproportionately large compared to ability icons
• Potential readability issues with dark semi-transparent UI (A) in certain lighting conditions

Problems to Solve:

• Choosing between two UI color schemes (black vs brown background)
• Optimizing UI layout for console compatibility
• Streamlining consumable item controls (single key for all potions)
• Reducing visual clutter while maintaining functionality

Potential Solutions:

• Scale down oversized elements (potion icon, borders)
• Use thinner borders with more stylistic elements
• Prioritize readability by considering background transparency effects (B suggested for better readability)
• Maintain console-friendly layout while minimizing footprint
