This is my concept for a Touch-screen (Tablet, or Wall Panel) Album chooser for the next version of windows. By that time I expect most displays will have some kind of touch or Multi-touch as that seems to be the technology everyone is dribbling over today.

In my Video (yes Video) The finger touch is represented by the White circle, presses are represented by the circle gaining and dropping a shadow. (Yes I did steal the idea from the iPhone Videos on Apple.com)

This is just a quick 30 minute mockup. Background is from some artist I'm not sure which, the icon for the CD is from Vista and the Album art is just my Album art from some music I have. The song that begins to play at the end is displayed in the Video.

And yes this was made on a Mac haha.. I'm sure all the windows designers use Macs :p (I kid I kid)

No doubt ;) But it was only a 30 minute thing to show how a touch screen interface could be done and nicely. Having to keep everything visible at once since with fingers you can't have "Hover over display" like what MCE has today. It's only a quick 30 minute mockup as I said above. No controls or text on it or anything.

For those interested, here's the link to download the PSD for the login screen.

Clicky!

This helps a lot. Honestly, it isn't that hard to implement this into Windows Vista. You would just have to change a few images.

Unforunately, I don't know everything about modding the login screen, so I have to look into it more...

Okay, here is my idea...

With the vertical OR horizontal sidebar, scroll like was said before, but also have like categories that you could switch with the mouse too (buttons). My scroll wheel "tilts" kinda (don't know how to say) left and right and moves the horizontal scrollbar when apparent on a website. Maybe that could change from preset folders or categories like Media Software System Shutdown. My mouse also has the middle click button when pressed down, so that would select the item highlighted. Sorry this isn't described much better.

The pic may help..

Sorry I didn't feel like booting up my Photoshop or Fireworks.. I am really tired. But I knew I would forget this idea if I didn't put it down somewhere.

*It would also be much prettier than my mockup in Paint :p

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
