Post by Roger BinnsHere are some screen shots.
Thanks.
When was someone going to tell me how hideous BitPim looks on the Mac?
I don't think the UI is very good for BitPim and would welcome
any suggestions for improvements. The best way of doing suggestions
is to knock up a fake screenshot.
Ouch! Well, BitPim works well on the Mac (for me), and I'm happy with
it.
Post by Roger BinnsIf someone has a Mac I can access over the Internet using VNC next
week and try to do some cosmetic improvements then please let me
know.
Contact me. I'll install what you need and set my phone up for
bitfling.
Post by Roger BinnsIs there any chance you could redo them with some changes?
- Use a resolution of 1024x768. The widescreen mode you
have results in images with an aspect ratio that doesn't
fit with the other screenshots.
- Select an item in the wallpaper view so that the right hand
panel has stuff in it. You can select more than one item
and it looks even more impressive.
A warning for Mac folk using "Grab" for screen shots (and a partial
apology to Roger who must be happy with what he gets, I'm a Unix geek
using a Mac), part of this was driver error on my part: if you use
"grab", use either the timed grabber or the "click screen shot when
ready" grabber, because I did all of the screen shots that Roger hates
over once because the first time nothing was selected, and I didn't
want to do them over again to make them look better, such as selecting
an item as Roger says. I managed to de-select the item while starting
up "grab".
Post by Roger Binns- Include the menu bar since it looks wierd not having one
to non-Apple users. I had a look through all the screenshots
on the Apple website and noticed that they almost never
include the menu bar, but that appears to be because
most Mac apps have way more toolbar buttons and other widgets
as part of the user interface. Your BitPim shots make it
look like you can't do anything with BitPim! (Actually
use your best judgement on this one)
OK, if someone wants to help Roger out be sure to do a full screen
"grab" and not just a "window grab".
Post by Roger BinnsAnyway, the phonebook shot certainly looks good so I will at
least use that unless you come up with something better.
Roger, I use Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Windows, and the Mac (once they
went Unix), and all-in-all the Mac by far looks the best. But I only
use BitPim on the Mac so I might be fooled.
