Re: [Flightgear-devel] New re-arranging and styling for the QtLauncher

[Jim <ji...@ch...>]

Do you have any wire frame design  mockups? I would be glad to offer any UX help I can.


Related question:

Are there any UX design tools out there that we can use to make fleshed-out mockups for review?

Hello,

Here a proposition for re-arranging the QtLauncher, in order to make it more "user-friendly":

1) Replacing the main tabs "summary", "aircraft", "location", "settings" and "addons" by a vertical icon box, on the left side of the window.

2) Splitting the current "Settings" tab page into 3 tabs:
    - "Time",
    - "Weather"
    - "Settings"
    ...in order to give more place for icons and images instead of text.

3) Removing the "Quit" button.

4) Changing "Run" by "Fly!"

For the general style, the current look of the QtLauncher is closer to an editor than to a start dialog. We could change the Qt stylesheet in order to customise the UI (to give it a special "touch"), with a nice and modern look. For instance something like the Windows Metro UI style (=tiles, with a dominant colour) or elegant like the Papyros UI (http://papyros.io/) ?
