    Hey

    I'm just wondering if anyone would be interested in helping design a new interface for AU.
    At the moment, other than the main screen the interface is pretty much just yellow boxes.. and I thought it might be nice to try something more stylish in the next version.. but since I suck at graphics myself, does anyone have any ideas or even want to design it? :tehe: The interface for each form/screen can simply be an image with space for controls (i.e. text boxes/buttons/etc) to be placed.

    Also it would be nice to hear what AU users think - does it need a new interface?

    I could give designing that a shot, I don't have AU but I can see what you mean about the yellow boxes. They look like they were made in Xara Xtreme Pro :) very simplistic.


    I'll PM you a design later, probably.

    Lol well it was my poor attempt at photoshop actually =/

    If you just want to do a new design for any one of the forms, maybe the list management one in this screenshot that would be cool :p

    If you design one form and it looks good we can go from there.. and if anyone else wants to give it a go, it would be nice to see designs from more than one perspective ;)

    thanks :D

    Actually, expon, I think it isn't that bad...I mean, it could have a better look, but I could live with it like this because it pwns :p .

    What kind of changes are you making (or attempting to make) to the interface anyways?

    I'm gonna have a crack at it expon. If theres anything in particular you want it to look like, PM me. Also, i'm designing a splash for a main screen, perhaps you could use it.

    I'm also looking for other sound files you could use instead of the crazy annoying one you have currently
