rafi Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 As Firon requested - the debate can proceed here, so - here is it again.The following was proposed for uTorrent - (next generaion...) - as an optional GUI: What do you think ? a good alternative ? forget about it ? Please note that IT WILL BE OPTIONAL!Personally - I don't like it ... but as an option - fine, why not ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game90 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 optionally configured by user. Its always good to give ppl options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 a good option to have.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:No-Frost: Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 mmm doesn't look bad... but actually I like the actual GUI... mmm Maybe leave the actual GUI and allow the user to decide wich one to use...But please, leave the panel of the left that shows the inactives and all the torrents, etc... ^^Thanks ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Instead of just saying -1 or "it sucks" (not directed at anyone in particular), constructive criticism would be best. Of course, if you absolutely hate it and think it should be removed period, do state why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost21 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 +1If more info can be shown (tracker, ETA), and it's optional, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 It's intended to be optional. Like, when you first run it asks if you want "Easy or Advanced", and presumably is changeable from the preferences later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebReaper Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Yuk. But if it's optional, then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Easy or advanced guis option on startup/in preferences = great idea. Using the proposed gui as a starting point for the easy gui option is good, but it needs a few tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B!LL Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Looks like the Bittorrent main Client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infirmus Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Its pretty ugly and offers no additional functionality while taking up more space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 @infirmus: Oxymoron! ;P But seriously, it's intended to be used by people who prefer simple interfaces (a bunch of people already did request something like it), not to add functionality or whatever.@-$$$$$-: We already did say that it'd be optional. And it looks like a mix of Firefox's download manager and Transmission's interface -- what's wrong with their interfaces? What's wrong with this interface? What makes it so horrible that it must be avoided? We can't accept your criticism if you don't provide a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matias Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkus Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Horizontal scrollbars are evil, so for that reason it has potential. I would like to see the ability to configure what it shows, but within the same vertical form factor. Perhaps have an additional line as an option. That or at least show more info in a tooltip or on the status bar in a mouseover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGato Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 -1I want lot of info in screen and this is going against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atm999 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 This would be VERY good for people that are just getting started as torrent users, but I personally would never use it because it doesn't show enough info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebReaper Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Nobody here seems to be reading the fact that it would be optional. BTW, if this is implemented, please can you call the current GUI 'uTorrent Classic' in the options screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 @DonGato: The choice will be there to choose between the current and that new interface. Don't like it? Pick columns UI instead, you'll get all the information you want. You prefer more information. Other people prefer minimal information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I still think that it should split peers and seeds, have a status icon for dling/seeding/trackerdead/whatever. It'd look better if it was half the vertical size. Too much vertical screen real-estate is pissed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Work in progress, proof of concept, tweaks come later -- just the general idea is being put forth. But yeah, definitely agree ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inf Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 The new GUI is less informative than the current one, less customizable, takes more screen space per torrent etcOr in short (sorry Firon), -1Again, i know you already heared that from me on IRC, but please please please make it optional (or dont switch to it at all).
