Haiku Glossy GUI?

Forum thread started by el.tigre.20 on Mon, 2010-08-09 22:36

I have developed this piece of artwork using the original GUI styles of Haiku, and have modified them to give it [Haiku] a more modern look. Please comment what you think.

Wow! I have this wallpaper already :P

Looks so much "clean". All need to be "filled" with something else

Another thing is that all Haiku community is against glassware and shadow stuff, but they like of MacOS X look-and-feel.. nobody understand...

I think it looks very interesting; I would love to see more mock-ups of this idea.

This is pretty original. Please make some more mockups, preferably with GUI widgets and stuff.

Okay, here is my Haiku Desktop (this of course is all conceptual, its not my real Haiku desktop although I wish it were).

Here are some widgets...

-clock/date/year
-photo gallery
-calculator
-notepad
-icon launch dock

Also I must add a disclaimer to the desktop wallpaper:

I can't say like the windows right-hand side close box on the latest mock-up.

I meant GUI widgets in application windows. Buttons, sliders and so on in actual GUI applications. I would like to see what you believe Haiku's applications should look like in your new style.

I like these but I don't like how the title bars are see-through. They could be something like Win7 though, where their see-through element on their title bars are kinda frosted. I like that.

The last one is very nice, but it's getting a bit close to looking like a linux distro, the opposite of Haiku. I'd like it if the user would be able to choose between many different themes.
