Sharing My Directory Opus Setup - Inspired by Iconic User Interfaces

[NazmusLabs]

Hey everyone,

Excited to share my Directory Opus setup with you all! I've drawn inspiration from some iconic user interfaces to create a customized and efficient layout. Credit where credit is due: I would not have been able to design this without the help of my Creator Allah (S.W.T.); so Alhamdulillah (Ultimate Praise and Gratitude belongs to Allah).

Take a look at these screenshots and let me know your thoughts. Any kind of constructive feedback is welcome!

Inspiration Sources:

And here's a partial list of software I have taken UI inspiration from:

1. Visual Studio: Incorporated the sleek and functional design for a professional touch.
2. Windows 7: The simplicity and clarity of Windows 7 UI elements have been a significant influence.
3. Ribbon UI: Borrowed some concepts from the Ribbon UI for a more intuitive navigation experience.
4. Windows 8 Beta Aero Theme: Adopted the clean aesthetics of the beta Aero theme to enhance visual appeal.
5. Metro Style UI: Integrated elements of Metro UI for a modern and streamlined look.
6. Office 2003: Channeling the efficiency of Office 2003 for practicality and familiarity.

Allah (S.W.T.) has empowered me to take the best features from these interfaces to create a setup that aligns with my workflow seamlessly. Feel free to ask questions or share your thoughts!

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Cheers

this takes me back a bit! i like it. your button design and layouts are great, the toolbar down the right side is fun. how does that hold up when you open the preview or meta panel's???

and best of all, your context menus! the edge coloring is great! i love the colored highlight along the top top, left and bottom sides!!! how did you do that in dopus? or did you build that themeing using another tool?

i recently decided to skin my music player with .xml for the 1st time. that was a 3 week adventure, i gave the menus a unqine color set from the rest of the text.
