You could reduce the size of the status messages even more by simply using icons. E.g. if the building is going bancrupt, display only the coin icon followed by a question mark inside the speech bubble. Or if the building needs more workers, display an icon showing a small person followed by a question mark. This basicly works for any resources your building might require. It also allows one building to show several status messages.
To show the urgency of the message, you could change the background color of the speech bubble: A message of critical urgency might be dark red, while a less urgent message might be white.
The difference is that the gif in the first entry is a preview image and therefore only loads when clicked (otherwise you only see a thumbnail), while the gif in the second image is embedded into the description and therefore loads w/o user action.
MilkyTracker is quite decent aswell, although it's user interface is a bit clunky.

@kphillis:
For fonts and other UI-related stuff, you might want to check out this collection.
I think it would be less confusing to upload the new signs to a separate entry and simply link between those two entries.
I do plan to create new art challenges after the lpc is over.

Thanks. :)
Nice ;-)
Do you still have the sketchup files? If yes, it would be great if you could upload them here, too.
Moved.
> That sounds great! Can you post a link to it once you move it so that everyone can see the new location?
It's actually still the very same thread ;-).
