Hey guys, I'm making a little app that I can use to control Vuze/Azureus from a different computer in C# and using the XML/HTTP plugin for Vuze. I've got all the hard stuff working, now I just need a pretty background for it :p Seeing as I'm artisticly challenged, I thought I'd ask if anyone else could make it for me, or otherwise just give me some good tips on what would look good. :)
I got the idea of making this one after seeing this cool widget for OSX - http://andrewdupont.net/azureus/ . Hopefully that helps make my screenshot abit clearer :)
I've attached a screenie to show you the layout. :) Basically you select one of your many Linux related Torrents in the top and it will fill in the details below for that torrent. (not sure what will happen if there aren't any torrents atm, perhaps it will shrink height wise :s)
The buttons I'll turn into images later, but their purposes,
X - close
R - Refresh
Config - A little settings screen, I might just hide the torrent list + details for this
I'm also going to put little up/down images next to the torrent speeds.
Anyway, heres what I had in mind for the looks,
- Froggy stays where he is, since he looks awesome there. I might ditch the dodgy drop shadow though
- 3D look with rounded corners with abit of gloss ... and perhaps a black background colour or a dark blue :s Not sure if blue will look like crap though with it being so similiar to Froggy. :s
- A different background colour for the stat area and another one again for the footer? I've only done the Torrent Name in my screenshot, but it looks pretty good in that OSX widget. :)
Anyway, if anyone is feeling generous enough to make me a nice background,
- Transparent areas need to be a single background colour so I can remove it with C# :)
- Size should be roughly what it is in the screenshot

if not, can anyone recommend a good font / colours to use? :)
Cheers!
Edit: Guess I should attach my screenshot..
