I really like this UI design, great job; I feel it eliminates the issues that exist in Hildon at the moment and would greatly improve usability. I have a very limited understanding of coding myself, but to be honest I'd be surprised if this would even be possible in Fremantle. What's perhaps a better idea is to have a chat to the guys making Cordia, and see what they think. They definitely know how to code, and if they agree that this represents a legitimate improvement over the default Hildon UI then they might help you out. Couldn't hurt to ask, at any rate.

Doesn't anyone on here listen to a thing I say? Qt Quick is the coding language FOR designers. All this BS about Hurrian needing to learn how to code is nonsense, a teaser app is possible without skills for coding, meaning it won't replace the hildon-desktop but it'll run like a slideshow of pictures with interactive elements. I'll say this again; if Hurrian isn't up to doing this himself I'll gladly recreate his mock-up design in Qt Quick for him.

therefore the question should be asked....

Can someone who can code implement this beautiful mockup. I would be happy to donate to this worthy cause.

i can bet plenty of member who viewing this design will say...



then after reading reply after reply then member will understand it just a design that doesn't have a codes yet to make it works...by this time member will say....



codes is like a engine & a design is just like a casis or a car...without a engine (heart of a car) the car will only look gud as a prototype...
Tell this to Steve Jobs....

Okay, I'm going to try to do it in Qt Quick.
BRB, using the Designer.

Here's a picture of a running app, MicroB. You can access the task switcher by swiping the top bar down, and connect/disconnect to networks by holding the top bar.

The Qt SDK is a few hundred MB, which is hueg, and is a ***** to download on a WiFi connection bridged to an Ethernet cable.
In the meantime, can someone poke the Cordia team about this? Although I have my doubts that they'd do this, as they're mainly focused on porting Maemo 5's Hildon to MeeGo, and this is a pretty radical change (still not as radical as Maemo 6's UI design though)

In the meantime, can someone put together a basic working mockup in Qt Quick just to let the other people have a feel for it? I only know some ancient ActionScript code, which does NOT work at all in AS3.

Oh, and nice tags, people.

That download took a whole 14 hrs on my 0.37mb connection, you should get the offline, as the online could download broken files.

I also doubt Cordia would do this, they're porting Maemo to a different device, I think the wouldn't do it the other way around, but don't hold my opinion for this.

The tags just help enforce the personality of the Maemo community. Beautiful!

I'll get to work doing this in qml for the undeserving community . Would you mind packaging the icons, fonts, and a text file describing how everything to behave into a archive and send it me? Thanks.

I'll get to packaging the files right away.

It'd be better to go in the #cordia irc channel on freenode and discuss it there, as Smoku has managed to implement Gnome Power Management and could point you in the right direction.

Try posting a request in the cordia thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ghlight=cordia

If all else fails, send him a PM
