New to the forum and to Zynthian, just spotted a V5.1 on Reverb and decided to shoot. Still waiting for the device to arrive and browsing this forum as well as the wiki so I can get a better grasp on it because to me this is huge lol
Anyway, while impatiently waiting I wanted to share some great UI designs from movies that I saw today (perhaps I missed these somehow in the past):
I’m not experienced in UI design but I do have a background in graphic design and concept art for film productions though this is not what I do for living now, I can offer my services in this field - vector or raster image graphics or anything like that could be of any use here.
Thanks for the links and thoughts @funginum / Tony, and welcome to Zynthianland. The UI-graphics and icons have seen great improvement with the Oram release. There is still much to be done. A forum search on icon or icons will show some of the discussions around this topic, such as:
I actually think the UI in Zynthian is pretty good as it is, I like simplicity and functionality and it’s clean, not overcrowded. As i said I have no experience in the UI design field so I can not offer a constructive critique or proposal in this field.
Maybe the typeface for the menu could be something else - while the current font - Audiowide is a good display font (to be used in large sizes) and has a distinctive character it’s not a good choice for the current use, it’s too wide and has poor legibility in small sizes.
So perhaps something that still retains this aesthetic but with better performance in small sizes - like Orbitron (Google/free font), though the use of lower case characters are a bit of a non go for this task too imo. Plenty of choices though. Here’s Orbitron used in all caps: schiit.com
