advice for graphics of avast
« on: April 21, 2014, 08:03:26 PM »

I have a suggestion I really like avast but it would be nice to have a new GUI or just a new interface with (more colors)

Why ? How often do you look at it ? It's not like you turn your PC on and stare at Avast GUI for hours.

You don't say what avast version you have as there are different colour schemes for the free version against the paid versions.

They have a new GUI, that is what happened on the release of avast 2014 (a.k.a. 9.0), so I rather doubt they are about to change that any time soon.

Personally I don't care much about aesthetics more on functionality and there is much they can do to improve functionality in the GUI, as it isn't anywhere near intuitive as previous avast versions 7.x and 8.x. That is certainly something I would like to see along with many others and we have many topics on this, but no indication that this will change.

This is what I have to say about the Avast! UI. As long as it's easy to use, quick and the functionailty of the program works. I could not care.

On a desktop/laptop/netbook you do not want loads of bright colours and 'jazzy' presentation, a simple GUI is more than good enough for that platform. It may be different for users of microscreened 'smart' phones as their miniscule display needs all the help it can get just to see anything.
So maybe the 'mobile' version of Avast might need the over-bright colours but desktop users do not need nor want that.  Sensibly gentle colours that do not 'grab' the eye are want they want and need I suggest.  Simple ergonomics should be applied.

Your presumption, not necessarily everyone's opinion. :)
