Jessterw Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 The screenshots may be fake, but the layout and design have their roots in reality. The simple fact is that Microsoft's UI teams are constantly messing around with the UI's of their respective programs, and as such there are alot of UI "sketches" or prototypes. Just look at the various UI incarnations of Windows XP before it was finalized. Of course I haven't said anything that we all don't already know... hmm... but hey I've increased my post count... :) :D :p :ermm: :paranoid: :ponder: Edit: In case you guys didn't notice, while it is on dork.com, it's also under y_notm's sub-folder (or am I just pointing out the obvious here... :s ).

Guest TheGodfather Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I can't remember any dramatic GUI stuff for XP, all I remember was a gradual progression from 2k style to XP style (watercolor) then the jump to luna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eth3l Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Hopefully not - those are ugly shots. The colours are nice, however there is alot of wasted desktop and tons of clutter. thanks for the shots though y_notm . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 30, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2002 obviously fake, without even looking at them. why? simple. blackcomb is going to be a kernel upgrade and is dependant on longhorn's interface to move forward. since they're concentrating on the kernel and the longhorn interface may not yet be completed, there's no way they could start even a preliminary shell to interface to a non-existant kernel. at least this would make an intersting desktopx theme :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betax Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Well.. I believe MS changed to Luna because watercolor looked too much like the old windows of yesteryear. Alongside Luna (which should have been changed a bit), Various other things evolved such as the icons. Microsoft saw "aqua" and wanted to make something similar w/o it being aqua.. They made good high res icons and this improved the GUI a tad. You must realize what Microsoft was thinking about.. "Aqua has big buttons and a "fruity" look to it"... "We must make something to compete.. and thus Luna was born. I can still remember an image that was posted that compared the GUI of XP (Luna) to OSX.. And there are a lot of simlilarities.

jayp6969 Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 that would be nice if i could get my desktop 2 look like that, also i wish microsoft would get ideas from us and make their interfaces look like our dreams like in those pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Maybe if MS is not influenced by outside sources, Longhorn will have a decent interface. EDIT: outside sources = adobe, apple, macromedia, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
