Work-in-progress for the new About window
for Release 80.
Incidentally, this is what this blog was originally
about - posting bits of work, UI sketches, coding
details - all the daily grind that goes into making
a seemingly simple piece of software and that stays
largely hidden once the result gets shipped.
When you see a product that is simple and logical,
it's very rarely that it came together that way on
its own. More often than not it's a result of a long
iterative process of trying this, that and third,
going back, tweaking, revising and retrying, and
eventually converging to a stable point.
So here's something to acknowledge all other
20-plus versions of the About window that were also really
not bad at all, but didn't quite make the cut! :)
