Re:Cyclops Idea
Just whether or not the interface looks good or any suggestions for what could make it look better.

The image I made doesn't seem to want to show up on some browsers, and linking doesn't work, so here is the url, just type it into the url bar and it should work: http://jpd.gofreeserve.com/cyclopsidea.png

Re:Cyclops Idea
Maybe try using imgur next time. It's designed for hotlinking, so there shouldn't be a problem. Your interface looks nice and simple. It's easy on the eyes and the functionality is relatively clear. I'd play with the vertical spacing on the menu items, so the text doesn't run over the lines that delimit the boxes. For the top menu bar, I think it would look better to have vertical lines delimiting the menu names, rather than boxes around them, but that's more of a minor personal preference. I like that your icons are easily distinguished and not overly complicated. Hope that's helpful, I'm back to differential equations :).

Re:Cyclops Idea
Thank you. Just so you know this is just a sketch i made in paint so i haven't developed it yet. I was actually going to put lines instead of boxes for the menu and i decided to try something else.

Hah, I always used to make mockups :). Drew this one time, wish I'd been able to implement it:

Re:Cyclops Idea
You should have at least tried to implement it, that way you'd have the first ever NeXTStep-inspired GUI :D
