tjobo Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 No I dont like this idea. Why just dont keep the application simple without all memory demanding features like drawing bars.. Bars is for kids who can't read digits.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayWithFire Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 i could care less about bars, i'd prefer a number anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twizttid13 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 or maybe 2 versions of utorrent. the basic. and the new more colorful one. maybe this can be looked into more after all the big releases for utorrent are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTufty Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 I think 2 versions are unlikely, we'll just have to abide by whatever decision the devs make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 that just looks plain sexy so much nicer GUI. i hate how i have to maximize it just so i can see all the info i would like. i would much rather be able to keep it as a small window in the middle of my desktop so that i can access other windows much easier.

ColdArmor Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Yeah, I would love to see it as a smaller window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTufty Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'm not sure that any new interface should look quite like that last suggestion - it's nice, but I still feel it's a little cluttered. However since I don't have any better ideas of my own (writing a new core for my website is taking all my creative energies at the moment!), I'll just keep my mouth shut for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intangir Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 The tabs, where are the tabs!?It looks "good" and all, but all the quick and simple tabs of advanced info/stats is one of my favorite aspects of µTorrent. It would be a shame to just toss [most of] that away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 that image is only a quick example by food. tabs would definately be a good idea of info. personally azureus has the cleanest UI ive found in a BT client because of the tabs for the torrent info and options.

dAbReAkA Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 i just found ot that download speed is not always visible.. probably the most important things are download/upload speed, % completed and total size.. others should be visible after expanding the tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayWithFire Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 someone pointed out that it would be cool for µTorrent to implement XUL. I had no idea what it was, but then read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUL and it now makes senceI would love to have that. I guess that would essentially make the app skinnable. but, before you guys say anything, here are the concerns i have about this that i am sure a lot of people were going to bring up.first, how much developer's reources will be required to make it happen? There are lot of things that are way more important to µTorrent then a pretty looksecond, what would that do the memory footprint, and the resources used? Would it have a big impact? If so, it's not really worth it. But then again, i got 1GB of RAM, i'll spare a few extra MBs to make it look nicethird, would it still make the application just as simple. Meaning requires no installation and can run of a thumb drive?discuss amongst yourselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Implementing something like XUL would significantly increase the complexity and size of µTorrent. Not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayWithFire Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 pretty much the answer i expectedstill, something like FOOOD's mockup would be cool to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Yeah, although FOOOD's ideas are very nice and I'd love to see them implemented, if it's going to bloat µTorrent, then it's better to leave the GUI as it is. Personally, if I have to choose, I'd rather have responsiveness & small footprint over eye-candy and/or features...but if you only seek the latter, then you've found yourself another client.

PlayWithFire Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 actually, i think azureus is much uglier then µTorrenti like the simple interfacei've been an azureus user for a very long time, but it looks like that's getting unstalled very soon.

gameovernet Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Wow' date=' I hadn't checked up on Acquisition for a while, and when I just checked the release notes... well, it seems that BitTorrent support is being added to Acquisition O.OYea, it's only in beta at the moment but should be good http://www.foood.net/images/other/smilies/yes.gifHere's a rough example of what I mean including plus & minus buttons to reveal or hide more info. (Obviously the info could be moved around or added to. They're just to get the idea across).http://www.foood.net/images/other/drop/rows-1.jpghttp://www.foood.net/images/other/drop/rows-2.jpgI Like This Example .... not to be a bitch but MAC is not my FAV BUT i LOVE THIS DESIGn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
