I redesigned GPU-Z using the Fluent Design Language

Sure. Agreed.

Just thought I would post an update to this. Last week Microsoft went into great detail about the evolution of Fluent Design in the Outlook app for Windows. One of their concepts included a colored top bar to "align more to the Outlook brand", and I thought this would be interesting to apply to the GPU-Z concept.

Gamers are typically very proud of their GPU choice, either from Team Red or Team Green, so it would be fitting for GPU-Z to reflect that in a more prominent way based on the detected GPU. There would also a blue accent (not pictured) for integrated Intel GPUs.

There are other minor changes made like moving all the function buttons to a bottom bar to keep things a little more organized, and I included the new Radeon badge.

Again, just a reminder, these are purely conceptual designs. Think Photoshop (although its actually Adobe XD)

I aboslutely love the green on black for the nvidia card's dark theme. I want this like now.

Liviu Cojocaru · Jan 29, 2018

I like these "skins" for GPUZ, good job @Fahad

OneMoar · Jan 29, 2018

this is all hypothetical because gpu-z has no skin interface everything is hard coded

That's why I've put the "" , I know it has to be re-written to implement these changes

Tsukiyomi91 · Jan 29, 2018

even if w1z didn't want to make any changes to the dated, drab UI, I would still accept @Fahad's ideas for a complete overhaul to fit with 2018's trend. Who wouldn't want a brand new UI & elements that perfectly fits with a new OS?

If change is what it sorely needs, why wanna debate about it just because a raw concept of how or what to expect in the future? Why fear it?

Naki · Jan 29, 2018

Lots of people would not want this.

If it ain't broken (it is not), don't fix it.

I hate the lack of indentations in these mockups, for example.
I agree the current window size is too small for 2018 displays. Should be larger now, or customizable is even better.

For customizable window sizing, see how CrystalDiskMark does it.

Fahad · Jan 31, 2018

For the sake of completeness, below are the remaining two tabs.

I also wanted to thank you all for the feedback you've provided in this redesign. I really appreciate the input and constructive criticism as it helped me improve my work in this relatively new hobby of mine. So thank you!

Try the ROG version "its dark

Wouldn't matter to me if it was done in a manner similar to the OP. You seem like your just looking to complain about anything honestly. Do you fuss at people who do song covers, fan art, fan fiction? People these days are always looking for something to make an issue out of where none exists.

Edit: Also see W1zzard's own words on this. 4th post in.

No worries. I like your nick, I am a Hockey fan, myself. I think I am reading your nick properly, as a Hockey term. if not, OK.

Anyway, I was just posting this quote instead of a link, as was done above. It was then I noticed this thread is 2 years old.

Oh well, I still like GPUz, however it looks.

I have returned to defend my honor.

I did not mess with the software without permission. This is a concept made with Adobe XD (it's basically Photoshop but for UI design). GPU-Z was not touched or modified in order to make these.

BTW, seeing this thread pop up back from 2017 made me think about a Fluent GPU-Z again. Microsoft's Fluent Design Language has also changed since then, especially now that Windows 10X is coming. Would anyone be interested in seeing another concept based on the new design language?

Naki · Apr 22, 2020

Yes.

Can you do a Google-based design too?

Fahad · Apr 22, 2020

I haven't thought about making a Material Design one. I dont know much about it, so I will need to do some research, but it would be a nice challenge. I will definitely make one time-permitting.

Could be "football" too - or for you guys in USA, "soccer".

MrGRiMv25 · Apr 24, 2020

That modern version in the first post of the thread looks really nice. Would love to have that style GPU-Z. :cool:

birdie · Apr 24, 2020

Absolutely horrible cringe-worthy unreadable low contrast spaced out mess with atrociously ugly fonts which make my eyes bleed. Leave GPU-Z alone. I hope W1zzard will never employ this "design" language.

I feel sorry for those people who find this version "nice".

"If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything."

Let people have their fun with colors and contrasts without dumping all over it.

Naki · Apr 24, 2020

Yes, colors & contrast are not the vital parts here, it is the look & feel that is very different.

Obviously, colors & contrast can be improved as needed.

IMHO if I had to suggest changes in the GPU-Z GUI, it would be some basic window/font size changing support, i.e. have the 100% we have now, but add 75%, 125%, 150%/etc custom window sizes and/or for GPU-Z to be Windows OS custom font sizes chosen-aware (i.e. DPI-aware).
Current window size is from when 800x600 & 1024x768 displays were still in fashion.

And they are not now anymore, for many years.
But this is lots of work..

It's basically options for people to have to match their schemes or make it easier to see. I know people who would love to have more things match their black/red or black/green builds, or bigger fonts to ease old eyes. We should be supporting progress and ideas.

cough

Naki · Apr 24, 2020

Right.

I think custom window sizes (and thus custom fonts too - larger fonts with larger window size) is easier to add, and a good start for any further GUI changes.
Making GPU-Z theme-aware is lots of work.

I have quite recently (i.e. few weeks ago) started using a 4K monitor, and the GPU-Z text/labels are quite small on this for my old, spectacled eyes.

Fortunately, this PC has 3 monitors so just dragging to 2nd/3rd monitor helps, as the others are at Full HD and not 4K.
