I'm sorry, but is this program even remotely usable to anyone other than yourself? This obviously suffers greatly from a bad case of "Programmer-developed UI"

Agreed.

Also, never never never never ever ever ever ever never ever never ever have elements of your UI typed in ALL CAPS. It's extremely unattractive, distracting, and just plain uncool.

Well, 184 people downloaded it.

No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio

Check this out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babya_Logic

It is known that A.A. Fussy spends a singular amount of effort hyping Babya's products, and the 'company' has certainly produced a large number of software items in the past few years, but it is entirely unclear as to whether he is completely deluded as to the quality of these products and his press releases are the result of an exceptionally fevered imagination, or whether the entirety of Babya Software is an elaborate joke. However it is clear that A.A. Fussy intends to continue the promotion of his products, going so far as to hijack Wikipedia itself in the ongoing hype.

Emphasis mine.

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.

Babya, I have followed your "work" in the past and you are a disgrace to the software development community. The screenshot for your design is not innovative, nor is it a "role model" -- it is revolting.

Please, just leave.
