Collaborative Community Settings Panel

October 12th, 2006 at 9:02am • Posted by Cameron Westland

After posting the original settings panel, the community went back and forth with multiple suggestions from Jason Harris & Many other active forum members to come up these two very well done versions:

I think these are pretty awesome. Thanks to ckohler and Shadowknight for these two different versions. Ok community let me know what you like and dislike about the two different preferences sections.

Also…Timeline and Forecasting integration screenshots are coming very shortly. This is a key aspect of Astmosphere and I think you will all like what you see. Stay tuned!

Settings panels explored

Here are some mockups for some of the settings panels. I’d like some feedback on them, I figure a simple set of options from within system preferences is the best way to go. Click for full size versions. Thanks to CajunLuke for the coding these up in Interface Builder and sending me the source!
