MrFusion Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Well, maybe I didn't make much sense, but I'm talking about cascaded circular menus. Remember The Sims? Well, something like that. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titoist Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 If microsoft comes here and gets an idea for the GUI for their next windows, I think we should ask for a "little" compensation since we are the brainstormers :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisBraid Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 added even more, i really like this version. i think it would be some kind of first logon screen. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42816134/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL_ Veteran Posted November 10, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 10, 2006 I'm thinking the best course would to use an Office-esque ribbon, replacing the Start bar and Sidebar. When a program is active, it can also have it's own tab, to save people from opening the whole thing up. Digitalsoft, really, that is THE BEST, no doubt, but I can't see it working with programs. Please show us how it would work with an open program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeChipshop Member Posted November 10, 2006 Member Share Posted November 10, 2006 Lol quick mock-up i was working on. This is the login screen were you choose the user and also the prefrence your using the comp for. For media (i.e. media center), Business or gaming. Each preset is fully optimised for the thing chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacoe Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I think everyone needs to be designing the os for something a little more like this: http://www.ted.com/tedtalks/tedtalksplayer.cfm?key=j_han Because by the time "rome" would be released (2015?), I have a feeling we won't be using computers in the same way as we are now. All concepts brought up in this thread are just a poor representation of whats already in vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaidiir Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 They really should get rid of the File, Edit, ... Menus! Switch to tabbed ribbons! Now there's a thought! The Office 2007 interface is so cool, why not put it everywhere in the OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacoe Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hmmm you do know this thread is a bit of fun don't you? Haha, of course but I'd imagine it'd be even more fun to design an interface for something more like that device, you could be way more creative :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeChipshop Member Posted November 11, 2006 Member Share Posted November 11, 2006 Fair do's, i guess i just dont have no imagination :p lol If there's one thing about GUI's i dislike it's the fact it's all visual based, yes i know there's screen readers etc but there's something wrong with sitting staring at a computer screen all day. no matter how comfy your chair is and how good your monitor is, it's never right lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medking Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Love the Deviantart one, the red and all, only problem is that all of the pics ive seen so far lack reality... Some of the pics are too one colored etc... Look how Vista came out.....so many colors for all the different programs, but keeps the simple white and black like the aero theme, itll look more like aero in the future and have very simple and clear features... Id doubt the scrolling feature but if any of you have seen the Vista 3d tab.... if not, heres a pic (had to add as an attachment) amazing quality and clarity just a few hints, going out to eat now but ill work on it and post one tomorrow, i really like the windowsRomewhich the guy on deviant art put.
