Description (last modified by )
The current lobby login UI is not intuitive, wastes time, and is in the old UI style.
The following need to be done:
1. Update to the new UI style.
- If no saved login, show registration predominantly.
- If saved login, try logging in automatically (possibly confirm before logging in? Will require consideration.).
4. Consider removing option to specify nick on login.

What was fixed? It looks almost identical to me. I think the register "page" should be entirely separate, not just asking to re-enter the password. People aren't used to entering new account info on the login page, then having to re-enter the password on a separate registration page. I've never seen any GUI that does it that way...

Alright, I'll put some more time into it. (I personally find separate registration pages confusing and inefficient, but one of the most important aspects of UI design is predictability/familiarity so I'll try to sort it out)

Thanks! The usual flow is something like this:
- Login page - start here
- User name and password boxes
- Login button
- Link to register page, typically something like "Need an account? Register here"
- Cancel button - return to main menu
- Register page
- Instructions on how to register, restrictions on username/password, etc.
- User name, password, and confirm password boxes
- Register button
- Cancel button - probably go back to login page
After registering, it should say "Account created successfully, you may now login" or similar, or give an error if there was one. Then the user is taken back to the login page, where they can login. This way is much more consistent and gives the user more explanation simply by logical ordering.

This is my proposal for the lobby UI. The screen is larger to fit all languages. And it's reorganised as a whole.
It includes dynamic tooltips on the buttons (that show why it's disabled), next to the feedback that already existed. The only problem is that I haven't found out how to assign styles to tooltips (now they're quite ugly black text on white bg).
