Interface Overhaul?
jackuars:
This maybe just me, but I think Multi Commander's interface has become a little old fashioned. I would love to see an overhaul in the interface and make it more attractive.

Well it depends on what exactly you are referring to in the UI. Icons ? Layout ? other ?
However. Yes I would like to upgrade it too..BUT, UI design and implementation takes a lot of time so the decision is what to spend the time on.
New features or Improved UI.
Right now the time is spent on new features.
Also a lot of modern UI that look nice are that because they are very simple slimed and dumbed down. MC will not be that because the target user for MC is a power users. Features and function comes first. UI second.
But if you have any specific UI improvements idea please let me know. And if they do not take to much time to add then I might be able to squeeze it in between adding features.

I know that MC mostly focus on features and I love that, and I'd have no problems with the current interface if I was still using Windows XP and MC would look fine on it. But with Windows 7 raising the bar for the UI looks, it's just that I feel improvements can be made in this regard.

What language did you use to create MC?

Win7 mostly added glass stuff. and I was planing on adding something like that but it is to resource intensive.. And in Win8 it was removed again. so that was scraped.
I don't really know what to change to make it look more modern. (without removing features..)
RibbonBar ? instead of toolbar. Hmm nore sure. Take to much UI space.
new icons ?? well I can't draw and since MC is free there is no budget to but professional made icons. Have to relay in free icons.
what else hmm I don't know. If anyone have any idea on how to improve the UI to be more modern then write a post or email me.
