Project Abyss: Menu and Shop System (so far, anyway)

Posting this up as I go along, ’cause it’s probably going to take awhile for me to do everything. I’ll have a .rar’d graphic pack of everything when I’m done.

Shop Menu

Store Name: Each store has a different name. Nice effect, ‘ya know?
Buy/Sell/Exit: What you need to choose from before the item list shows up. Buy leads to the store’s item list, while sell leads to your own. Note that key items DO NOT appear on the sell list as they would in the default system.
Item Name: Name of the item. It’s icon will appear to the left of it’s name.
Price: Item price.
Numbers: These are how much of the item you want to buy/sell. You can increase and decrease the amount by pressing the left and right arrow keys. You can hold up to 16 of the same item at once.
Gald: How much currency you have.
Total: The total amount of your purchase. Pressing the confirm key brings up an “are you sure you want to buy” window box with a yes/no option.
Character face: Each character has their portrait here. If they’re not part of the party, their portrait isn’t there (duh). For anything equipable, icons appear letting you know if they’re better or worse than your current equipment. ^ for better, v for worse, x for unequipable by that character, and = for it being the same or similar to what they’re currently equipped with. For items, no icons appear.

(the following is on the item tag at the bottom of the picture)
Item Icon: a large graphic showing the current icon highlighted.
Item name: the Item name
Item Type/Sub Type: Like it says. In the above example, the Item Type would be “Weapon” while the sub type would be “Staff”.
Item description: The item’s description.
