I'm really sorry, but I'm now going to complain a bit. Michael, please take these things as improvement suggestions and not negative critique.
I'm sure some of these comments hadn't been here if I hadn't seen the previous nice blue colors. Overall I really feel that the blue colors where better even tough some of the points mentioned here also applies to the previous skin style. 1. At the moment the previous colors looked a lot better/nicer IMHO. This might improve when all the highlighting and new buttons is in place, but I'm not sure it will. I think my problem is that the new colors are too dark for my tast, the previous colours felt "happy", while the current very dark colors gives me a more "sad/angry" feeling. But it might just be me that feels this way. 2. Could we please get rid of that dark gray background colors in header and footer. That color has always been one of the things that has made the interface feel a bit 1990'ish to me, instead of 2000'ish. The same comment also applies to the light gray background of the bread crumb navigation bar. 3. The only rounded corners I've complained about before is the outer ones, since these feel very unnecessary as long as the interface is contained in a browser window with square corners. If the browser window was completely transparent so you really got rounded corners of the whole window the situation would have been different. It also doesn't get better when the background in the outer corners now are gray. Earlier it was at least white which made it feel a bit rounded, although not much. If the rounded corners are going to stay, could we at least also get rounded corners on the main white content area. The content area feels very square at the moment in comparison. 4. As Phil already mentioned, the contrast between the "arrow" buttons and the background in the browser window is way to low. On a laptop you won't even see the arrows if you are sitting a bit on the side. 5. I feel the contrast between the header/footer and the white main content area background is too high. It kind of feels like the main content area background is incorrect. Also it feels very boring/old with light grey when we have been used to the nice light blue color for a while. 6. The new button style shown in the status window above the current playlist feels a bit like they doesn't belong with the rest of the interface. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is though. It might be that they are the only things with graded background in the interface that makes them stand out or it might be that the contrast between them and the background is to low. 7. The logitech logo in the upper right corner is a bit smaller. I personally really don't care, but the market guys might have an opinion that the Logitech text is barely visible. Maybe it would be better to just have the icon without the text. 8. The new style of the play/add buttons feels a bit out of place compared to the white background of the content area, but this might be improved when the real highlighting is in place. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39957 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
