Revisiting UI and UX ...again!

(1/3) > >>

G8B4Life:
With DigiTrax's release of their new throttle, apart from the interesting choice of shape (see the picture on the second page of this MRH thread if you don't get the shape right away:https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/39897) DigiTrax users just got a huge UI (User Interface) boost compared to what they previously had and that got me thinking, yet again, about what we have with our white and dark blue screen.

Personally I think the RP UI just doesn't look at good as it could, or should, for what RP is supposed to offer over other control systems. To me it's looking dated compared to what other systems that now offer a proper RGB screen (touch or not) have.

Many of you will remember my two and a bit year old thread on a less white UI: https://rpug.pdc.ca/index.php/topic,630.0.html and the comments then were favourable to what I had put up. What's everyone thoughts these days? Are you happy enough with the current UI? You'd like a new UI? Can't see the point in my pursuit? Tim just stop wasting bandwidth?

I did a little refresh work on one of the UI idea's from my Less White UI thread. If people are interested I'll post them for comment. If enough people like the different ideas then we could probably take the ideas to RE.

Tim, I’m not unhappy with the screen colors as much as I am about the delay time when going from one screen to another. Still, I’m sure we would like to see what changes you have made.

Tim, I really like this one:



With the 2px outline. I always like having a darker background, it saves battery, doesn't make the screen as hot (potentially) Can't wait to get my hands on an actually hand held. (I only have the computer interface currently)

atsfguy:
My vote is for the 2x outline and the background like Glenn’s post. If there is enough demand, Ring will implement at least some of the suggestions.

KiloWhiskey:
I really like the screen in the photo...
