David just sent me a few screenshots with several alternatives.
The first one makes a subtle change on the "workspace information area" to include details about the current task (pulled from the issue tracking system you're using, you know: Bugzilla, Mantis, Jira, OnTime, Rally and so on...).
The second one keeps the previous concept but resolves one request we've often heard from users: reduce the space above the 'view area'.
It also highlights the idea of 'tabs'.
I personally prefer the second one but I'd like to see the 'top area' even more reduced so the 'views' can get more screen space.
Looks good! Yes, less waste of vertical screen space is useful for widescreens!
ReplyDeleteCan you give some more details/hints about other improvements? Maybe some kind of roadmap? (to keep customers informed about "what's cooking in the labs"?)
We're working on a bunch of new things. Take a look at the annotate view at our Facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/PlasticSCM
ReplyDeleteNew features? Yes: things like integrated code review, a new commit view, huge performance increase, new sqlite backend, selector explorer, Perforce importer, new SVN importer, external data storage and a couple of new things that I can't unveil yet... :-)
