Sneak peek at the future codeBeamer UI/UX design
Our User Interface and User Experience Team has just opened a new Facebook gallery to publish an early preview of their recent work. At the moment, there are couple of mockup pictures uploaded, to illustrate the 2010 directions of the codeBeamer interface design. Please note that these are design mockups: the goal is not to pixel-precisely mimick the final screens, but to evaluate the layout, the controls and the feel.
As you probably notice, our approach is driven more by usability and simplicity, than by aesthetics. It doesn't mean it will be ugly when it's completed. It means that every time when we have to choose between nice-looking and productive, our priority will be on productivity. We want to make screens quick to understand and functions easy to use. Everything that you need in a context to be at your finger tips. Not merely to impress your eyes.
It's all for you. What do you think?

Eyes always tend to move to right side, looking for the most interesting information. Advertisement creators knows that, and that's the main reason adds on right sides are always more expensive.
Most people are right-handed, which seems to be the explanation for that well known behaviour.
I agree perfomance is a key design goal; but there are two perfomance aspects involved: the inner efficency of the application, and the user efficiency by using it.
As users must rely on application interface to do their work, design looking may directly affect users own perfomance.
That leads to a common dilemma on UI design: inner performance vs. usability
Sometimes, simple decorations may help user to better concentrate on their work, although they may impose perfomance penalties. And quite often, decorations are no more than distractions.
I would suggest to not overlook the benefits of a good and pleasant nice-looking interface, when it helps to improve user experience and efficiency.
Anyway, for what I've seen in those pictures, I certanly like it.
