Resource bar mockups

There still seems to be a lot of discussion about the new and old resource bars.

I'll throw in a couple ideas of myself with the following mockups.

I took the 3 existing resource bars and just rearranged them a bit in ms paint. All of the existing ones have good points but none is perfect ;-)

On the left are the original bars, to the right the mock ups. You can see the ones i like most.

I tried to keep the 4 income/expense numbers together. Then fiddle around with the bars, the Energy/Metal logos and net income figures.

From SF333s widget i removed the "NET" in the logo. These are additional letters that are distracting imo.

I do like the vertical bars. Not like I ever thought the huge horizontal bars were an issue, but they undeniably block screen estate for no real gain. I guess shrinking them would also do the job, but as a new player I appreciated the prominent, familiar element in the UI.

The "Me Likes" at the very bottom is quite close to the last thing I did before I showed it to GoogleFrog and he went and made the current default's design (which I prefer due to it being less busy). The only difference was that net was below gross and the resources were aligned horizontally.
