[WIP][$] Vertex Edit

thomthom

Can't say I find OSX' UI to be more consistent than Windows', or any other OS. OSX have a few different sets of UI styles, brushed metal, stripes etc. Each OSX release has brought a new style. Some parts/apps use one style, another part a different style. If anything I've always had the impression that one where more likely to find custom widgets in OSX than Windows apps. But I digress.

As mentioned, since I'm deliberately avoiding the native toolbars for technical issues, there is no practical way to simulate native look with this custom toolbar.

And I do find myself to be "sensitive" to look and feel. I do graphic design, I have a keen interest in UI design (not just the appearance but layout and function) I just don't find the native look and feel that appealing.

I am all for consistency though. And while one could argue for visual to be consistent with the platform, one can also argue for consistency across product. When I can not make use of exact platform UI appearance I prefer a single uniform original theme over two per-platform themes that only partially mimics their host.

This is one of them topics where when you ask people about two alternatives you'll get a third in response. It's an interesting topic however.

i for one like your "Silo" type style, but for that matter it could be green with pink polka dots as long as it adds vertex editing functions to SU. And soft selection...

Ok, Thomthom,
I will comment on the "looks and feel" in a private message when your finished. I am hoping for a stable plugin doing what you are planning. Looks very promissing.
