I'd like to see someone implement a new theme for Paroli that'd include these colourful icons. So far I think the best looking UI for Openmoko has been this QT-stuff with black background and friendly, colourful icons. Let's see if at some stage Paroli has something of that.. - stole liberally from the Tango icon set. That's the way to do it :) - Added actual button-like images behind the buttons This is good! - adjusted the SMS display into a 'conversational' mode where all recent messages to and from a specific person are grouped together. Ah ok, so clickingn on the list item will open the SMS view, that's nice, I like it. What'd you think how to decide if a SMS belongs to a group or it's an individual msg? Nice to have you doing some designing for Paroli! r -- | risto h. kurppa | risto at kurppa dot fi | http://risto.kurppa.fi ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Paroli SMS mockup image
I like a lot your idea of conversational sms, I found it very usefull when I was using a Blackberry, but I might suggest to reduce identation a half or more from your proposal to gains more text space and allow two or tree identations levels. 2009/6/17 Warren Baird wjba...@alumni.uwaterloo.ca: Hey all, I've finally spent some time (when I should have been sleeping) and put together a rather rough mockup showing a bit of how I'd like to see the Paroli UI looking.

Re: Paroli SMS mockup image
I wasn't thinking of actually providing indentation as in a threaded discussion - my intent was that messages from other people are left justified and messages I sent are right justified - I think that's the way the treo 650 sms program did it.

Re: Paroli SMS mockup image
yeah, I think that trying to build a formal discussion thread is probably too much. My thought was that basically any msgs from the same sender in a certain period of time of the last message from that sender (configurable - at least an hour, I'd think) would be grouped into the same conversation. I forgot, but there should be a 'new message' button somewhere in the bubble for each conversation, that sends a reply to the person the conversation is with. Don't know how it's best to handle messages sent to multiple recipients - I guess they each spawn separate conversation threads?

Re: Paroli SMS mockup image
I really like the idea Grouping to threads by number is really useful as it has something of a chat-like conservation I would like to see a optically simpler implementation without colorful icons though 2009/6/17 Warren Baird wjba...@alumni.uwaterloo.ca On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 2:20 AM, Risto H.
