Live Messenger - Login Screen UI

March 28, 2008 · 5 Comments

subheading 3 

2 days ago I set myself 1 simple task, to build the UI for the Login screen of windows Live messenger!

1 day later I was done!

Equipped with the knowledge gained from my control skinning adventures I set out on creating the UI as best I could pixel for pixel. The result speaks for itself. 

I said it before and I’ll say it again, Silverlight is an amazing technology. It’s potential is limitless, and it really empowers the designer making their role in any software project critical to it’s success!

Sub Heading 5 

This is going to be a simple post BUT I thought I’d share it because I have been racking my brain for so long trying to work out how to do something like this in pure xAML. This shows why design is just as important to the UX toolset as blend is. There are just some things that can’t be done in blend!
