Your Best Interface :)

Now this is mine GUI i made for a project i will post a full image with icons and labels in it.....

I design it on photoshop... :)

Well it does draw the eye to the center, implies that that is the only thing the user should do. Attractive? sure. Functional? depends on what you want it to do.

you can add infinite items to it.. which circulates when u want....

The screen looks like this when you start the application with menu icons and other labels and buttons.. :)

Now its starting to look like something... Something nice even.

Have you got a working model of it? Looks interesting.. a little small maybe.

[tlhintoq]

Obviously you're pouring a lot of time into this. How reusable is it? If it is tightly attached to the application and you have to "re-make" a different versions for each application that can be a killer.
But if the UI accepts events and exposes methods that make it reusable and skinable then there is a much greater potential for it.

i find this an quite interesting approach ... but how does it handle an 'infinite' number of items? does it use categories and replaces the inner circle when the user selects one? or does it expand to more concentric circles then?

kind regards

[EYE4U]

When you move your mouse on the edge of upper half circle, new items replaces with the old ones, and same with the other half circle.

Now how can u put infinite menu items on it... suppose your application has 25 items or more, there is a file which contains the information about the menu items... all menu items are added at runtime after fetching the information from the configuration file.

@tlhintoq : i m working on it.
right now i have made 2 themes... and of-course theres no need to remake all this.

Here is the other or you can say older style of this app....

Now tell me which one is better.... and please post some of yours...

Of course there is a working model for this interface but wait because the application is not deployed yet.. as soon as its completed and deployed to the customer i ll upload the working model for this interface...

Is this some kind of 'dock' thing? Or is it an application that has a purpose other than holding icons.

By 'dock' I mean what you have on a mac, or what you can do on a PC with something like RocketDock.

[EYE4U]

Yes its a Dock....
It will hold all Menu icons...

Hey you have given me a cool idea of creating an application like Rocket Dock....

Thank u thank u :D

[EYE4U]

I have a small question here if admins dont mind it..
In which language Rocket Dock or Object Dock is written?

[Markus]

Thank u thank u :D

:D np dude.

One thing I would suggest is: the good thing about rocket dock (and others) is that they're generally a strip that is stuck to one of the sides of your screen, and is never covered up by any applications (providing you use something like desktop coral to keep that area of the screen free - windows won't maximize over it) - because yours is right in the center of the screen, I could see that being a problem. Maybe you should incorporate a hotkey that will bring the dock to the front of the screen. Do you understand?

It sounds (and looks) like a nice app.

No idea. Programmers (that aren't going open source) don't usually divulge much about the application.
