Hello there, I've been working lately on some interface changes. As suggested previously by toad, we now have a status bar in all themes.
So what is it ? It's a small bar that shows : current node language, number of connected peers, security levels, simple/advanced mode switch & a count of warnings and minor messages. So we gain a little more space and we have handy information always availible. Neat. We can also use that status bar to include very cool things like : number of unread Freemails, number of new messages in the favourite Freetalk board, a search field... Maybe this will be done later (long-term). Here are some screenshots of the status bar with different themes. Pictures are small, sorry, they are taken from my laptop. http://tinyurl.com/lq8fx5 Default theme with new statusbar http://tinyurl.com/l9wdxx Critical errors & alerts are now shown on every page, and won't appear in the status bar message count. http://tinyurl.com/law77u Status bar in other themes (grayandblue) I also did created a new theme, called "Minimalist". As the name suggests, it's pretty clean, and was inspirated by Google's UIs. The welcome page was really tweaked, the menu is the same that clean-dropdown except that it is shown at the very top-left corner of the screen. The title is shown at the top-right corner, so that this theme has a very little header (~25px at most, of course that depends on the size of your fonts). http://tinyurl.com/ktjawt Welcome page http://tinyurl.com/n2qr7m Friends page with a purple alert ; critical errors are shown red. http://tinyurl.com/mto7eb Statistics page ; as you can see the status bar is fixed at the bottom (thus always visible). The theme has been tested (successfully) on Mozilla Firefox (>=3.5), Opera 10 beta and Chromium (latest nightly build on Linux). So it should work on most Webkit & Gecko based browsers. Should we make this theme the default ? The activelinks are forced to be shown on the welcome page, so it would be great to push them. (Once they are in the client cache, the loading is a lot faster, almost unnoticeable). Thanks for reading & for your replies. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
