Possibly make more of a contrasting color scheme. The top menus are a muted blue on a blue background. I agree. It would be good if those menu items acted as tabs and the tab for the page you are on would be different from the rest. See how Google does it, http://www.google.com/ . Also take a

I've been up late several nights in a row with heavy things on my mind, so I'll give quick thoughts, try to get some real rest, and hopefully get tomorrow started right with early-morning devos so I have some free time in the evening. My confusion had to do with the fact that many pages are mor

For frontends using RTF (namely the Windows frontend), the only font that is supported in the current release is Symbol. I've just added support for Courier, but don't expect it to appear in a released version for at least a few months. The more important issue is that you should not be using

I think it looks decent (nice and clean, maybe not flashy but certainly not ugly). I agree it can be a bit confusing on first use. Which was their priority--colors and graphics or functional UI improvements? I can do pretty, but slower than any "real" designer. If they're thinking more funct

Hey guys. We've finished up about 80% of the functionality for the web tool and are not looking for people to make it look pretty / work more intuitively. ABS is happy with the functionality, but they are about to go out and pay someone to redesign the user interface. I'd hate for us to have
