I'm going to start out this thread negatively . I was looking for a Karaoke player and ran into this. I tried it out for about 10mintues and it works, no error yet.

But the font and odd color choices. Why the big font size, the weird font style and the colors? My question is WHY?

I don't know if this the purpose of trying to be different but definitely not the right path. Users usually looks for functionalities not cute looking application, but tKaraoke is not even cute for that matter. I hope there is at least one tKaraoke member agree with me on this and especially the development teams.

I would request to have the FONT name/style/size change back to it native form. Maybe we need to keep the font style as BOLD and that is about it due to our TV pixels layout. COLOR, keep it simple with no funny colors please, possibly Black-outer-glow with White-text.

Common guys, i don't think this is some high-school project with bunch of teenagers design. Please recognize that this is a contributing feedback not some jerk trying to blah tKaraoke off because I may have sounded like one today.

I really do find distracted using this player, where I should have focused my attention of operating the player. If you guys not sure what I'm talking about, take another look at VLC Player. Make it into some like this http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Should I expect to hear anything from the Development Teams? I'm new here so not sure how frequent would one do visit this forum.

I'm with you on the different artistry of choice perspective. But this is a team effort and you know it could have been better with a decent default outer look. My main concern was why not have a normal looking layout design with standardized fonts and colors. I do recognize that tKaraoke has the vlc player engine embedded. I was pointing out to have tKaraoke looks something similar to vlc player. Very standard nothing fancy or funny looking design with odd font and colors choice. Let have a look around at commercial applications; Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Windows and Mozilla Firefox Browser ect... we run into them probably hundred of times a day, these company doesn't release a product with colorful fonts/fonts, the user may have that options. It is nice to have the ability to change the fonts of one's desired and skin layout and such which most players do support. But really, do you find yourself going through the menus to take out the annoying fonts/colors for every applications you've installed.

I guess readability and a common looking program is what we all just needed and focus our work on improving and implementing new functions. Attractive looking program may sale but it can't fool the professional users. If one day we've become mature enough, then we may think in forming a design teams and work with the community/members to gather ideas and listening for suggestions. Then have a few demos out and take a poll. I find it sad that tKaraoke doesn't have the open source in mind. Major projects and successful programs are mostly evolved from open source projects. VLC is a good example, if it wasn't for open source, would it becomes as what it known today?

p.s. it is a good thing you are doing there, proteins folding networks.

i don't think this is the concern.
