I went to do some study tonight and for the fun of it, I thought I would load up Mac Alpha first to give it another play and maybe root out a few more bugs. When I turned it on, suddenly a page of all sorts of resources appeared. I was stunned. Where did this come from? Then I realised it was the layout from Logos 4 Windows. I forgot the workspaces sync across the cloud!
OK, the interlinear doesn't appear. I can't do a lot other than basic e-book functions, but I did some useful work with it tonight. I thought I would give a note of encouragement to the developers. It works! Way Cool!
A few cosmetic observations running the windows and mac layouts side by side:
- The book thumbnails are sharper and clearer on the Windows version.
- I think the tabs are "slightly cleaner" and less busy when you have a lot of them on the Windows version. This is due to the lack of shadows on anything but the active tab. The inactive tabs on the Windows version seem to melt a bit more in the background, making that part of the screen less busy. I think the inactive tabs are also a slightly darker colour than the active tab. It makes the Window jump out a bit more.
- I like the shaded colour behind the table of contents on the Windows version as it breaks up the screen a bit more. Personally, I would like to see the ability to alter any background color with time for this reason.
Regardless, for an Alpha 3, it is actually starting to work a bit. Well done gang!
