aafuss Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I think it would make using Paint.NET, if it simplified the number of windows needed for major functions. Some examples of innovative design: I recently released Babya PhotoPro , which has a innovative design: by making use of fewer tool windows, with the most important tools are kept in the main window with auto hiding panel areas -see the screenshot: http://www.softpedia.com/screenshots//B ... oPro_1.png That hiding panels concept works well-it's de-cluttered and I love working with it. Even if the various palettes could be docked to just a icon as in Adobe software, or a Office 2007 style ribbon interface it would be much cleaner. Study these programs UI design-and I think they are the role models. Just some thoughts about UI design-you don't have to change anything-this could wait until v 5.0.

Stephan Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 The new skins we are developing mostly have compact options, mine aswell... Just wait for the contest to finish, then you'll see some nice idea's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aafuss Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 Thanks!-I'll be interested seeing how the skins compare to other UI designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 However, please bear in mind that Rick is strongly against tweaking with the UI or allowing us to do so. The skinning competition on right now is the closest you'll be getting to skinning PDN.

Yata Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Please read this: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3455 I find the current interface fine. Edit: Gah! You beat me by milliseconds!

barkbark00 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I hate to be negative, but that screenshot looks extremely cluttered. I do not think that a similar layout for PdN would be an improvement...  Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Well, I won't be as sharp as Boltbait, but it seems to have 18 menus (is it menus?), the 'palette' is ... odd, I've never seen this before Blue - green - maroon - yellow - green again - white - violet. It's surely a good prototype for next-gen apps, but it's really too next-gen for me. No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrochild Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I'm sorry, but is this program even remotely usable to anyone other than yourself?
