[Help Wanted] - BootScreen app - Graphics & UX
 

Hi,

I wrote a bootscreen manager last weekend in a few hours, to tell you the truth was more like a joke/fun app, but seems there's a lot of users interested.

The current UI is very simple and basic, but some users are having troubles understanding it, yes I can do a better job, but I need some designers help, because I'm zero at graphics :D

Here is the current app aspect:

What I need, apart from your suggestions:

- App icon;
- Small icon for each item in the list, representation a video file;
- Something like a check icon, similar to the green check in the Internet connection manager when you're connected to a network

I can make you icons for app if you want. I will make small icons for both of my videos (26x26?). Check out this:

VDVsx is it possible to re-use icons from the OS? For example where you mention the green check used in the connection manager can this be found and used? The un-compiled source for these things should be available?

I meant a generic icon for the video files, not a different one for each video. Perhaps video thumbnails can be used, but that's out of scope at least for now.

Make them a bit bigger than 26x26 (or use SVG), that way I can resize and play with them :)

I remember doing something long long time ago for this: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=349623&postcount=9 To the right of the screenshot.. Its not very pretty.. I tried shaping it up now here:

what you think?

I have not added any thing special fx-thingy here like gloss and such..

Re: [Help Wanted] - BootScreen app - Graphics & UX
 

Yes, should be, I searched a bit, but cannot find that icon, if someone knows where it is, I appreciate :)

Re: [Help Wanted] - BootScreen app - Graphics & UX
 

That's exactly what I've in mind, but of course I'm open to more suggestions from the UX experts ;)

I like that one above here with the standard media symbol.

I did a simpler one here just before I saw that post.

Added som gloss and changed color.
