there won't be a redesign lol

instead of overhaul of gui, would be better put all efforts in feather wallet & make it replace gui 😅

yeah i know there won't be a redesign, but my point was like.... whata the hotness these days?

lots of space

like, just open, empty space?

ya, lots of it.

nonsense. an ideal GUI is like on spaceteam :)

i think it became the "in" thing then they just rolled it into being "touch friendly" so it stuck.

<selsta> "there won't be a redesign lol" <- y not

a redesign just for the sake of it is pointless

and it's not only costly, you also have to find a professional UI designer and Qt/QML expert that want to work for the CCS, these people don't appear out of nowhere

selsta: alright, although i truly believe its time for a redesign, current ui is outdated and doesnt give monero the justice it deserves (imo). I am dreaming of a Monero wallet that has the same UI as wasabi wallet

moneroextremist[: wasabiwallet.io this one?

looks like a normal WPF application

did you checkout feather wallet? it has a more normal desigb

design

yes im talking about this one

selsta: i would much rather use the official monero gui from a security standpoint, feather wallet is only a project managed by 2 devs where as the monero gui has a much stronger dev force and much stronger security

* i would much rather use the official monero gui from a security standpoint

* i would much rather use the official monero gui from a security standpoint, much more dev resources than feather wallet. they only have 2 devs and i dont really trust them

I mean I like programs like Wasabi wallet design wise but I wouldn't consider it modern. It looks like a regular Windows program.

selsta: to me the design of wasabi wallet is just 100,000,000x better than the GUI. i am literally dreaming of having this UI for a monero wallet

s/for/in/, s/a/the/, s/wallet/gui/

* to me the design of wasabi wallet is just 100,000,000x better than the current GUI design. i am literally dreaming of having this UI in the monero gui

did you ever try the CLI wallet?

it's the most secure wallet

i never tried it

thats the one with the command lines?

it might fit your needs better

im fine with the gui security wise

i dont trust any other wallet other than the gui

Помогите, куда обратиться в поддержку если зависла транзакция и нет средств на счету?

for the record, feather wallet was created by someone that worked on the monero GUI for a while

hey selsta

hi

i promise this is the last time i bug you about this, if we don't get a UI update this year, its gonna mark over 5 years since the last UI update. If we reach that point, half a decade without a ui upgrade, how far are we going to go ? 6, 7, 8 ,9 years with the same UI ?

you are asking questions that are impossible to answer :D

there is no UI redesign planned currently, I don't know what will happen in the future

like I said, what you want is basically feather wallet

a regular design

selsta: i think feather wallet is great, and definitely much better than the GUI but its not anywhere as good as wasabi wallet when it comes to "regular design" wallets

What I am proposing is not a regular design wallet, but rather a modern, sleek, clean UI for the GUI

Are you a Windows user?

moneroextremist Do you have anything specific in mind? If you do, maybe you could open a CCS, design the elements, write the Qt components, and submit a PR

Or even better, do you have a specific gripe with the UI?

jeffro256[m]: Maybe offtopic, how hard is it for a web designer to work with qt ? asking for a friend

jeffro256[m]: he wants a typical Windows WPF application, similar to Wasabi wallet

nikg83[m]: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QML this has some examples of QML, which is used for the frontend. C++ is used in the backend.

What are the benefits of WPF apps over Qt? Do they tend to be more performant on Windows systems? I'm guessing they also match the system theme to a certain extent

they will look more native on Windows

Or moneroextremist do you just want a more sparse UI?

To be precise, Wasabi uses .NET 6, which is cross platform. I don't know what they use for the UI but it looks similar to WPF.

Isn't Qt supposed to make the app look native anyway?

There is Qt Widgets and QML. Widgets should look close to native and QML allows you to create your own UI designs.

e.g. Feather uses QtWidgets and monero-gui uses QML

moneroextremist[: is this Wasabi wallet? wasabiwallet.io/images/wasabi-wallet-laptop.png?ver=1.1.0

Or this? camo.githubusercontent.com/87670bae…5722e636f6d2f67493735454b752e706e67

The first one looks like a regular Windows application. The second one has a more "fancy" UI. Maybe you meant the second link.

<selsta> "moneroextremist: is this..." <- yes im talking about the first one that looks regular

but i also said i wanted a modern look on the gui, wasabi is a regular look. either way i like them both.

<jeffro256[m]> "moneroextremist Do you have..." <- yes i have something specific in mind, however im not a UI designer :(
