Kirkburn Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Issues I see with the taskbar in that concept: 1). The icons will move around. If the bar is already almost full, where does the overfill go? Is it centred, or left-aligned? 2). What reason is there for the targetting reticule over the older, better established box highlight. How does it represent multiple windows being open? 3). What happens if you mouse off the taskbar with a zoomed icon. Is the entirety of the icon clickable, or only the part overlapping the taskbar? How would you select stuff that's behind the icon, but not on the taskbar? Do you have to move away and come back? 4). How is the start menu icon differentiated from the other icons? 5). Just how large will the program icons need to be designed up to? 6). How do you switch between multiple instances of the same program? That's just to start...

jjrambo Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What's up with brownish Taskbar or Titlebar. It looks ****ing ugly, totally out of place with the rest UI. I suppose they changed its color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BajiRav Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have to admit I haven't used it so I can't comment at all on it's functionality. Based on nothing else but screenshots I feel the new bar looks a bit flat and chunky, it's not pleasing to look at in the slightest.I know this concept really pushes the way Apple do their iteration of a dock but if we pretend for a moment that Mac OS X doesn't exist, this would be an incredibly awesome way of implementing it: <<snipped>> Hell no. Dock icon magnification was such a ****ed up idea that even Apple doesn't use it (by default) any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monotremata Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Funny everybodies complaining about the halo around the taskbar buttons. I never even noticed it until reading this thread this morning and going 'WTF are they talking about?'.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stetson Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 What's up with brownish Taskbar or Titlebar. It looks ****ing ugly, totally out of place with the rest UI. I suppose they changed its color. That's just the aero color that the user picked, not something that's built into the UI. I would imagine that the default is still the almost transparent blue color.

I would imagine that the default is still the almost transparent blue color. I'm fairly sure it's just a mockup. If it were a theme, it would have to be extremely advanced, as many elements of the UI have entirely changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike415 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Am I the only one who likes the ver. 7077 active taskbar icon look better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vask Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Am I the only one who likes the ver. 7077 active taskbar icon look better? No, you are not. I also very much prefer the 7077 look. With the other style there is just too much ugly white gloss like surface, yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dropped that again, as you can see in later builds like here in 7082, and in 7106 as well. I don't like the 7077 look much and am glad they changed it back again.
