Homebrew Design for Crediar`s Freedom

[JussiPik]

i was bored so i decided to make a gui design for Crediar`s system menu replacement app called Freedom
So what do you think?

 

[jan777]

certainly much better than crediar current design

 

[ShakaHeath]

Awesome! But I don't like the wave and Freedom stuff at the right.

Great! I also did something when I was bored.. Not for Freedom originally but a general Wii media center. Modified it a little bit:

What do you guys think? I was thinking of the icon (gaming controller) and artwork (Twilight Princess) changing depending on what option is highlighted.

both designs posted here are awesome, dunno which i prefer!!! Maybe it could be skinable... anyway, i seem to have missed crediar's freedom, what is it and where can i read more about it? Is it that youtube video i saw with a blue screen, with white text and you could select stuff like music, games etc.?

 

[Arm the Homeless]

Both are worse than the current designs.

 

[roku93]

Arm, you have weird preference.. Can't get much worse than the current one..

EDIT: SifJar: Yes, that's it. It's a complete replacement for the system menu.

Why not make it look like the windows media center
I mean in terms of interface, of course you can skin it

When I was bored I made this menu thingies:

Spoiler: a lot of text inside

I always thought Crediar was little after the WMC look all the time. I'd just rather not see the day when people start plagiating microsoft..

 

[ether2802]

I like this one if it gets made on GRRLIB4.0 just like the coverflow by beardface..!!

 

[JussiPik]

i talked to Crediar last night, and he said that he wants something very simple....

 

[roku93]

Do you think a text based or icon based interface would be better? Maybe I'll throw up something if I'll have time tomorrow.

Do you think a text based or icon based interface would be better? Maybe I'll throw up something if I'll have time tomorrow.

I think something with clear text and clear small icons, similar to PSP XMB would be awesome
