[wip] Dream Interface For Iconbook

The interface is starting to look bloated. Remember the Apple design ideas, keep it simple...

They are very annoying "keyword" advertisements, they are starting to use them in several websites now. <_<

How ever in the world they help the company is beyond me.

However, whether I'm the 170000000000000000th user, or the 17th, shouldn't be the issue.  Whether you are 13, 31, or 92 yrs old, the 1st poster or the millionth, master coder, master aqua-soft guru, is not the issue.  People have feelings, and I stand by my comments on constructive criticism.  And this isn't an english, norwiegan, chinese, latin, whatever issue.  This is a matter of appreciating others while getting your own point across.

Like I said, I loved you work, I also found unbeliever, and arcanthur's work to also have great merits in their own right.  ADG or not, I've been a graphic designer for over 10 years professionally and the work I've seen here has been quite amazing.

So all I'm actually asking as a new poster to this community (but quite possibly one of the oldest member (in age), is whether we can all respect eachother with decency, learning to build each other up and not tear each other down.  That is, afterall, the point of "community".

Now if you think, just because I'm the 17000000000000th user here at Aqua-Soft, that I don't have a right to post a comment about respect since I'm new here, than you need to re-evaluate why u judge people by how many posts they have or what user number they hold.

Final Summation, I "respect" you and all the others here for their hard work.  Let's all continue to do that for each other.

Very well said...................instead of getting so angry in our competitive nature....we should remember that this is supposed to be fun as well. This isn't a contest to get a position with Apple for $150,000/yr. salary. We will never agree if everyone has to be in agreement on all aspects of Arcanthur's idea.

It's not well said, he didnt get the point. but I dont want to get on that road again, can we just design and shut up?, thnx, this is nothing to fight about, or be rude about. so plz, this "war" has ended, dont take it up and up and up. we'll just design our asses of and let the developers deside witch one, sounds good? ok, gr8, ****ing gr8.

#181703

Right, lets not go down this road again... The problem is the wrong words were used way back at the beginning of this thread... lets all try to be positive and help eachother become better designers... keep up the good work everyone.

+100,000 for magbi9

@Unbeliever, strangely enough I have never heard of this Apple Design Guidelines.... Would you mind sharing them with me? Also in all Apple applications, ive never seen the slider on that side of the program, its usually on the right side. Other then that, great work everyone. Everyone has their own ideas, but thats no cause to fight. Just because one person thinks a design is crap and another one thinks its not doesnt mean that either of them are right, it only matters what the developers thinks.

#183027

This is my dream Imterface. Its not Photoshoped. Its real.

I have only a problem with the grey lines on the resizegripper. Is there a way to fix this?

The folders are hardcoded in the INI (>.< my mistake), gimme some hours and I will give you a version where it is skinnable, ok?

#205650

YEAH-I love you Andreas! :rock:

and the labels in the Listbox left.

#205653

Some new options for you, Stefanka:

[SizerPane]
'can be top or bottom
Position=top

Images for the folder-bar:

  • arrow_normal.png
  • unmark_arrow_sidebar.png
  • masked_arrow_normal.png
  • mark_arrow_sidebar.png
  • Folder_unmark.png
  • Folder_mark.png
  • sidebar_mark.png
  • sidebar_mark.png

They already should be present in the Panther skin.
