Artist's Comments

Just hoped this might stimulate a bit of interest in the production of an all round good looking linux app. which could handle videos and a music library. I don't know if it's just me but linux really does seem to be lacking a decent looking media player; i'm not suggesting this is the solution, but i'm sure someone out there can improve on this and us users can start using a good application.

I guess this project follows directly on from my Desktop Mockup, so please check that out too and as always criticism is much appreciated.

Really nice, and like you, I think Linux needs a good looking application.
Just a remark about the RSS feed icon, I would change it into something more blue to be in agreement with the black and blue look
;)

A short note to let you know that I featured your piece of art here [link] in the Designs & Interface Feature Newsletter. Thank you for sharing your great talent with us.

Uh oh, we're back to the dark ages of cloning Windows apps :D. This is a good app for Windows and not for *nix system.

The difference between the two is that in Windows users have a number of large loosely interconnected applications every one of which is a little operating system in itself ;p.

*nix on the other hand is an environment where users are given a number of (pre-integrated) tools every one of which is a more or less self-contained limited-scope highly specialised piece of software. Those pieces are:
1) flexible
2) reusable
3) replaceable

..and they form a multilevel hierarchy as well. That's why console is still here and popular.

If you are to build a consistent *nix interface, you will need to take these into consideration. Trying to port Windows and Mac OS X concepts to *nix is like trying to build a pyramid on ice - it will not stand for long. With recent KDE developers' feats we can see how downfall of such efforts actually looks like. :ahoy:

I'm pretty sure *nix systems were all about freedom of choice and not conventions. The idea of self contained limited-scope software, whilst it has its advantages, only proves to make the whole operating system feel disjointed and give a bad (or should I say less slick) user experience.

Since converting to using *nix based systems i must say one of my main issues is that my eyes have been sore for quite a while now. My suggestion was merely an idea on how to improve the look of something like amarok or banshee. I'm interested as to which KDE feats you are referring to, i was more than happy with programs like amarok which had a tonne of features under one roof.

Judging by the positive response from pretty much everyone else I get the impression this pyramid might just stay standing. #
Dont you think?
