I'm interested - however, I think you might want to set a bit more direction in terms of where you want to go with it. The problem is that UI's are very subjective. I saw at least one person say that the current paroli UI in OM2009 is good, whereas I think it's at best kinda boring...<br>
<br>and I'd suggest you might want to go a bit further than just a 'theme'. I'd like to see some serious thought put into the whole user experience - how does the user make a call, send an SMS, start an app, etc. <br>
<br>Risto - can you say a little bit about how *you* would like things to look and work? Is there an existing phone or PDA UI that you think we could borrow good ideas from?<br><br>Warren<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I agree that it'd be nice that all apps could know in what position<br>
the phone is and also to be able to request / prevent the rotation,<br>
more or less how suspend works atm.<br>
<br>
Back to the business.. anyone interested in participating? Creating a<br>
mockup of a new ui to discuss further..<br>
<br>
I saw some sliding things in Paroli I got the idea of menu that'd be<br>
kind of mesh where you start in the middle and then it'd show where<br>
the nodes would take you and you'd slide to that direction to get to<br>
that menu and then you'd see the options there and so on.. Something<br>
like this: <a href="http://iguide.travel/photos/Brussels-6.jpg" target="_blank">http://iguide.travel/photos/Brussels-6.jpg</a> :D<br>
<br>
I guess this is a bit beyond current Paroli. Just an idea.<br>
