BrandonGUIoftheMonth: X-GUI
Well X_GUI was the only GUI with any nominations, so it wins :P I created a wiki page so we can display past winners, it should be like a sort of GUI hall of fame, were all the best GUIs are. So what do we want for next month? I know it's a ways away, but the forum is slow and we need to decide. I personally would have to vote for Rush, it's MacOS like looks have inspired other GUIs, its code has been hacked into other GUIs and it's paint apps are solid even by themselves.

Brandon, these screenshots always look like crap because you resize them to weird sizes (like 316 by 237). Make it something that is at least a multiple of four or something. 320x200 or 320x240 would probably be ideal, the second is half of 640x480 which is probably the most common GUI resolution.

The size might be "weird", but there is reasoning I have the table cell with a width of 320 (a standard size) and cell padding of 2, I want the web-site to be set-up well before we have a "nice screenshot". I will probably make it next month so that if you click the image it will open full size in a new window.

I see, you were asking if it did, I'm not really sure. The topic is really to nominate for next month, so nominate!

The reason they look crappy is because they're resized, not [b]resampled.[/b] Try IrfanView or just looking for some resampling method in the GIMP.

Is that the technique with the seam detection? I've seen a video of that, it's awesome!
