Interface Clarity improvements

[Invisible Man]

Hi guys, I hope you don't mind my suggestions for a little cosmetic improvement to the menus.

I find that with some menus required to be open there is SO much information on show; this can be visually tiring & delays workflow when locating various settings.

IMHO, may I suggest using some colour or tones to separate related settings
and/or hierarchicaly indenting sub-settings (see example) to visually improve
the work space
What do you all think.... ; )

Good Idea!

I think you have the same need for a better interface that i have, i was thinking about tabs, but its not possible (didnt know that), this is an alternative that maybe do the trick! good idea!

Hello All,

i thought 1 year ago to make this kind of interface but i fear that can't be done in c4d.

I'll ask directly to maxon :)

Cheers

Hi Renato,
thanks for asking Maxon!

ZuluQ wants tabs, I'd like to have colours/indents (as above in pictures)

which is easier to achieve ?

Hi Glass.use, thanks for your comments

....it's also in that nice matching Vrayfor C4D blue, so it's just HAS to be possible! ; )

Cheers, Mark

if the same thing could be done when we select/display a material, the actual kinda drop shadow is quite thin on a large display that would be awsome

[afternooncoffeeboy]

i really hope this will be added in any further updates. this was suggested many times so far to make the sub tabs more visible and clear

i dont know if its possible but it would be wonderful to adjust ur tabs color by urself in the cinema4d color settings :shock: :shock:

As Renato said, we already talked about that, but it seems not possible at the moment. Anyway we'll ask Maxon to be more sure.

Cheers
