Title: Suggested Bitcoin UI Mock-up
Post by: zhoutong on November 22, 2011, 04:27:15 PM
I'm not quite satisfied with the new Bitcoin-Qt UI. There are too many mouse clicks and things aren't presented obviously.

Since this project is still new, I'd like to contribute my mock-ups, so that developers can utilize them whatever ways they want.

Disclaimer 1: They are in no way complete (or perfect). Just some personal ideas to fill the blank spaces and reduce mouse clicks. Also, I didn't do any graphical design, so a wonderful product will be the combination of this design and some professional graphics (if I have time, I will make some).

Disclaimer 2: Even though this is done in Mac, Qt should be fairly easily to customize to achieve the same effect. But, please, try to use Cocoa and Windows API for Mac/Windows clients. This mock-up was done using Interface Builder of Xcode.

Main interface:

Send Coins pop-up: (I especially hope to see Mail.app-like Token field)

Transaction Details HUD:

I don't really know anything about visual development, but I'd like to contribute and learn as much as I can.

It looks nice... But it should be a lot simpler for the average user. I think the current direction of the client is a good idea.

Edit: Why not have two clients? One for advanced users, one for simple users

Multi-Bit is better for starters.

I don't think anyone wants to download blocks for 8 hours just to see a transaction.

Hmm, some interesting ideas, OP.
