So, remember that talk a while back about generating document icons with preview content in? Now we don't have to. http://www.apple.com/mac/ , the Finder tour....
Given yesterday's keynote, and the general direction of things, is polished metal now the standard--official or unofficial--for the Leopard UI? Brushed metal...
... According to John Gruber, brushed metal is more than gone. ;-> Peace, Kevin Hoctor kevin@... No Thirst Software LLC http://nothirst.com [Non-text...
I'd like to get opinions here on how best to design the UI for adding a new record in an application. I searched through the HIG because I'd prefer to follow...
... I don't think there's a generic answer to your question. It depends on some requirements inside your application, e.g. (1) can you add records without...
... To add to what Jens said: you can possibly fill a new item with default values (like name it "New Movie 1" or whatever), so this is possible in all but the...
Hi Jens and Uli, Thanks for your responses. When considering a single or multiple document interface, I think it would be difficult to find an application that...
... Yes, you're right - you _could_ make them behave differently, but as a matter of fact, for the task they pursue, their current behavior is more appropriate...
... This decision is really all about your users and what is most convenient for them. In an application like Mail, it's nice to be able to have multiple mail...
Hello opt4444, ... You are probably going down a blind alley if you are looking for a _has_ to be one or the other answer. As others have pointed out - It...
... Defaults are defaults. Nobody's saying you can't let the user change them. Defaults simply let you get rid of a sheet and instead just have a simple "plus"...
My new product, MoneyWell, is close enough to final to show off the interface. The web page is a five-minute creation, so please ignore the lack of a marketing...
... Well, the UI looks clean and somewhat obvious to me (without having used it, of course), but one thing struck me immediately: personally, I wouldn't use...
... Honestly, I struggled with the colors myself, but the goal was to give the user a way to quickly identify what he had selected (accounts = brown, buckets =...
Hi Kevin, Visually (ignoring the coloured bars for a moment) your design looks the best I've seen so far for an accounts package (again, without having used...
I agree with Jens. It's funny how sometimes we as developers will obsess about some (possibly) imagined problem users will have. I am always struck how often...
... It's not my app, that's data from Quicken that came from a Web Connect session. I offer memorized transactions that will help users "fix" this. Peace, ...
... Thank you! ... You're probably correct, but the feedback in my household (mostly my wife) was all for the color. It's easy enough to change (or have it as...
... One of the goals of the added color was to make a financial package look more fun, but it would be easy enough to toggle the color and see what the...
Here are a few comments. The resize thumb looks a little crowded. Because your toolbar item labels are so long, the toolbar icon spacing looks funny. The...
... Kevin, Colour coding is not a bad idea, but it doesn't look like you have followed it through. -three panes have green headers, one has a green background,...
... If you mean the one on the Bucket bar, I agree that it is too far to the right, it needs to be shifted. ... Agreed. I don't plan on showing the two...
... I've had alternating colors on the transactions table and then I took them off and I've played with background colors as well. After all the color...
... I agree. For one thing you shouldn't rely on color-coding alone to convey a message. Also, your choice of colors clash. You have at least four different...
... I'm working on that. I'll show off a new look today or tomorrow. ... I guess I don't understand this part. What should the shadow color be to keep the 3D...
Hello GUI Gurus, I have taken much of your advice and changed MoneyWell to be more monochrome (based on colors from the iPhone). I didn't touch the graph or...
... You may want to think about adding a highlight or texture to make it feel more like a real bucket. So, a plastic or metal look. ... Think of it like you'd...
That definitely looks better to me. The icons are the things that jar the most in this version (for reasons already stated). One other element that jars for me...
... I tried both of those, but fell down because of my lack of expert Photoshop skills. If I can at least get the look close to decent, I'll let a GA handle...
