GUI Design Help

[DaveS]

I have a database that consists of 5 groups of records, each group has 149 entries

I need somekind of awesome looking GUI for macOS the allows me to do two things

1. Select one of the 5 groups

2. Select a record from that group (probably best displayed in a listbox)

I have GUI for iPhone, iPad and AppleTV that look and work just fine, but none of them really work well on macOS (mostly due to the difference in available controls)

If you have an idea, post a screenshot (can be made with Xojo, even though the final result will be Swift)

Can you share some pics of what you have?

iPhoneSE (top) AppleTV(bottom)

Thinking about similar to iPhone but with a Stepper [< >] in place of the SegCtrl

macOS SegCtrl are a pain to customize which is why I’m avoiding that for now

I dunno, but could the UI be all the same with a top tab bar and list below?

Since it’s a game, you could use the same UI everywhere.

The main reason the iPhone and ATV are so different is the fact that ATV is a focus based GUI, as in you cannot arbitrarily click a control, you must navigate to it, which is a pain, the parallel lists are easy as you just need to go left or right …. where on iPhone you click what you want when you want

This is what I think I’m going with for macOS…. (obviously I need to rethink the color scheme)

might even change the iPhone to this format

Looks good, nice retro feel!
