Here is the unit queue + progress bar I have made (100% freehand and photoshopped) for my warfare CTF map Demolition X. I have named it Modern Unit Queue because of it's more modern look in-game compared to the default Wc3 Unit Queue.

Info:
Well I wanted to make a new concept in unit queues, and instead of squares that contain the icons of the units trained or upgrades researched, I have made spherical figures to make a more different look and a modern-style unit queue. This unit queue is best used for Warfare maps, Space maps or maps that have a sort of 'spacey' or futuristic theme or in a modern warfare setting.

Import Paths:
Here are the files inside the .zip in this thread, besides them their corresponding import paths when used in your map.
Modern Unit Queue - UI\Widgets\Console\Human\human-unitqueue-border.blp
Modern Progress Bar Border - UI\Feedback\BuildProgressBar\human-buildprogressbar-border.blp
Modern Progress Bar Fill - UI\Feedback\BuildProgressBar\human-buildprogressbar-fill.blp

Tips and Tricks:
To make the 'Training' and 'Research' texts blend w/ this unit queue's colors, go to Advanced>Game Interface then find Text - General - 'Training' and Text - General - 'Researching' fields then add a gray hex color code (like c44444444 or anything grayish). There you go, your unit queue interface is complete!

Please give me credit when you use it in your map. Don't edit it without my permission.

It looks fine and all, but it looks really weird with the icon on it. And the outer stroke of the spheres don't seem to really fit in. :\

But it will probably be useful to certain maps.
 
I tried to make the icons fit in the sphere's strokes, but I don't want their sides to be overlapping w/ each other when it gets too big, so I kept it that way.

Anyways thanks and all:)
 
maybe if you put corners on the circle edges at the points where the icon's corners overlap it would look more like they fit into a slot rather then sit on top of the circle... I mean it looks good but the unit icons do seem to look slapped on

    23AndMe is apparently looking to sell the company. I wonder what that means for all the genetic data they have. I don't have an account for The Atlantic so I can't read the rest of their news, but presumably whoever would buy the company would then have access to that, and I don't think there are any HIPPA or equivalent protections on it
  • Varine Varine:
    I'd bet it would be a treasure trove for pharmaceutical manufacturing and genetic research. I know they sold some genetic information a few years ago but they did that without identifying information attached

    It's be like a really boring biopunk dystopia. My TV started giving me ads when I turn it on recently (which is real fucking cool), and now I'm imagining it just being like "bioinformation says you have cancer. Get a prescription for Avastin today" and then you get connected to someone that is technically a doctor but really mostly just selling drugs to people right on your TV since they have cameras now to give you a prescription.
  • Varine Varine:
    So, buy stocks in whoever buys them would be my bet
  • Varine Varine:
    I wish I had time to keep up on things like this. My investment portfolio would probably look a bit better.

    I would rather not have anyone ever post then those kinds of posts

    lol what were they doing?

    3D printer is working again. Had to get a bunch of parts, cuz I forgot I kind of modded it and then never finished modding it. Turns out thermistors aren't all the same
  • Varine Varine:
    And as a result I may have gotten the hot end way too hot and caused a small fire
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I have a new not end and this one has the right things
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I get these really weird artifacts, I think its from my bed not being clean. Not really sure, I've seen this before though and I think cleaning the build plate fixed it. Eh, I'll figure it out, worst case scenario it rips the rest of the model off and it catches fire again
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm now realizing I could have cut out like 99% of this print and it would have been fine cuz I just need to see if a frame will fit over an LCD
  • Varine Varine:
    Oh well
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm not an engineer
  • Varine Varine:
    Although this filament is kind of expensive, I should probably be a bit more wary of that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I love the whole concept of 3D Printers and am very happy you have one so I can hear about them
