Initial Newsgroup Post

Ok Here is the deal:

A vocal minority of people who USE the progress windows don't like them as they stand.

These people wish to have changes made.

KaiRo, the original owner of this area has abandoned it due to "stop energy" when he tried to make improvements.

I Am willing to pickup work, however I am self-proclaimed "not good at UI".

So here is what I need (non-coding):

  • A bunch of different iterations of UI, preferably full color graphics (rather than ascii art; though that is acceptable in round 1)
  • The UI iterations should detail the following, different download states, context menu's, and buttons. including what if anything those items do.
  • At least a brief explanation on how you came to the design decision you did.

These iterations I hope can be drilled down to a small number by the SeaMonkey Council and Neil (the UI "tsar") and then opened back up to the community as "options 'we' can live with, all around".

The idea here, is I am willing to do the coding, but not the UI work; but I am willing to spearhead the effort. I am NOT good at graphic design, but hopefully once we have a final project I can get someone (here?) to help with that.

You may mail me directly with the image files if you do not have webspace to host them; I can do so; I will archive the submissions at:

http://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/DLProgress_Redesign

Hopefully we can satisfy the requirements of the application, and our users with this.
