With the current rise in popularity of the awesome @godotengine , I thought it would be fitting to give the UI a little facelift. #Unity #GODOT

@passivestar_ @godotengine I see you already started by theming a bit :D Also UI update is one thing, but I think there could also be immense value in thinking about the user experience. I mean, being greeted with an error message as the first thing when you try to create a project is just not the nicest
