OMG what do this lame GUI means????
« on: June 11, 2005, 01:48:00 AM »

Dude, I can't beleive it.

We are constantly moaning about how ugly windoze apps are, but aMule looks like 80's linux applications.

By the way how come that column sizes are not stored between sesions?

Regards.

Ups, sure

I have done some code for some ABC modules, and I'm not superproud of the product, but at least it do not looks like an 80's app.

Sorry if I have offended someone, I didn't mean it.

Why do you use "" in better? Do u think the GUI on aMule now isn't perfectionable?

I would like to contribute, of course, if the responsible of the thing wants to, but I cannot right now, because of work, and some translating tasks I'm undergoing in this moment.

Anyway, feel free to mail me in a month or so (sh0ikan@hotmail.com) and I'll be happy to give u a hand.

Regards

Of course it is. The quotes are because what you think is better is not necessarily what others think is better.

Hey, lets do it different, how about in a month or two you show us a new interface? If it is really better, it will surely be prefferred, that is the natural selection of software. ;)

Cheers!

You can always build a new remote interface and use it via EC. No need to change the current gui.


BTW - I'm from the 80s, so the 80s can't be bad.

P.S: Next time you don't want to offend anyone, try not to start a thread named "OMG what do this lame GUI means????" i.e.. That would be a good starting point for not offending. Learn some manners. And if it's ME who has to say that, you're really troubled.

You have the source code. Maybe you can do better? GUI looks fine to me. Maybe you should try using gtk2 rather than gtk1. Then it won't look so "80's"...

Actually I find that with FreeBSD 5.4, GTK2.6.4, wxGTK2.6 and qt 3.3.4 (has nothing to do with aMule; wait for it) aMule is one of my better looking apps.  Kudos to the guy that decided to use wxgtk.  The apps that look like crap here are the ones that use qt.  I've found screenshots of other users' qt apps that look remarkably better than mine; could that be because they are concurrently using KDE?  Some sort of KDE/qt one-two?

To summarize:  me like aMule gui.  Do they still sell Kudos bars in the US?  Yum.
