GUI screenshot on Linux with icons/background

As promised yesterday, here's a screenshot of current version of the GUI, with prelimiary icons and background image. Apparently I had taken the wrong icons from the photoshop file (hey, I got lost between those 80+ layers in the file), the bewel & emboss effect wasn't supposed to be there. Also, the background image is merely a proof-of-concept and full set of backgrounds (one for each page) is in the making. However, this should show you the general direction where we'r going with it.

I also realized that I haven't posted any screenshots of the GUI on Linux platform, so this time, it's done on Ubuntu 6.04 Beta, running Gnome 2.13.92, Qt 4.1.1 with Plastique theme. Enjoy :)

Very nice, what about specifing what networks is using for download the file? For example, using icons.

Agree,
your gui is nice, when you 'll have implemented Gnutella and Kad you'r will be a Killer application in p2p world.
Can you consider the Feature in GUI's client?:
automatic connection thru SSH .. it is useful to log in a very SAFE way

Quite interesting. What about the use of tabs for adding subsections in "transfer" tab? I use it all time because downloading +3000 files and prefer to have them in a better way (smaller sections).

"what about specifing what networks is using for download the file? For example, using icons."

Hydranode offers multi-network downloads. It downloads a file from multiple networks (if sources are available).

In addition to post 4:
Is it really important to know where you're downloading from? What's your advantage if you know "400 sources", downloading from eD2K and BT?

Unfortunately, no, the Blogger engine doesn't seem to allow it. But the again, anonymous persons can end their posts with their nickname, if they do not wish to remain anonymous.
