The icons and the overall design are sleeker and appear to be developed pretty well. However, I was wondering if the UI coordinator could add a themed look to the start menu. I would love to see a Windows XP-style menu because I like the frequently used program list and the pin to menu feature. I would also like to see transparency and theming in general (either by a theme file, or xml based theming). I know these are far off but it would be nice to see.<BR><DIV><DIV>On Oct 27, 2005, at 6:02 AM, Murphy, Ged (Bolton) wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial">How does this work?</FONT> <BR><FONT size="2" face="Arial"> I can't find anything in the wiki about this and it seems a bit of a grey area.</FONT> </P><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial">There has been quite a bit of discussion about the UI recently, and I've had a few people asking me how they can get involved, as they are finding it difficult to get their ideas accepted.</FONT></P><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial">Two good designs that spring to mind are that of crappish and Dominic.</FONT> </P><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial">Due to the recent interest in the GUI, I would be relatively interested in getting some of their ideas into ReactOS.</FONT> <BR><FONT size="2" face="Arial">I know Alex has some thoughts on improvements for 0.3 also</FONT> </P><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial">For instance, I think the button icon and menu graphic Dominic did are much fresher and easier on the eye (see attached ... the graphic text needs tweaking).
