Windows Mobile 7 UI: Still Under Construction
According to freelance UI/UX designer Kim Sealls, the Windows Mobile 7 UI is still a work in progress. Her resume lists her as presently working for the Windows Mobile UX team creating, “designs for Windows Mobile 7 controls (UI still in progress),” and creating, “XAML layouts for controls and dialogs (Silverlight created in Expression Blend).”
It sounds like things are right on course for the Windows Mobile 7 UI to be as drastic of a change as has been speculated, but what I’m wondering is if the UI will resemble anything close to the mock-ups we’ve seen time-and-time again (click for larger image):
What do you think the WM7 UI will end up looking like?

Thats interesting ive been poking around win 6.5′s start menu trying to de-gothify the kaiser 6.5 roms out there When i came across the hex menu files .
brackets changed to prevent html interpretation
{Form Width=”240″ Height=”320″{
{StartMenu_GridScene ID=”Scene”{
{GridView ID=”Start Menu Items List” Top=”2″ Left=”0″ Width=”240″ Height=”268″ Columns=”3″ Scrollable=”TRUE” HexagonGrid=”TRUE” HorizontalWrapAround=”TRUE”{
{Image ID=”Selection” Left=”0″ Top=”0″ Width=”96″ Height=”83″ Source=”.\StartMenu_Hexagon_Active.png” /{
{Layer ID=”GridItem” Width=”96″ Height=”83″ OnAction =”GridItemAction”{
{Layer ID=”Normal”{
{Image ID=”Hexagon Overlay Image” Left=”0″ Top=”0″ Width=”96″ Height=”83″ Source=”.\StartMenu_Hexagon_Inactive.png” ScaleStyle=”Fit” /{
{Image ID=”Image” Left=”32″ Top=”6″ Width=”32″ Height=”32″ ScaleStyle=”Fit” /{
{Text ID=”Text” Left=”13″ Top=”43″ Width=”70″ Height=”34″ FontFamily=”Tahoma” FontSize=”7″ HorizontalAlignment=”Center” VerticalAlignment=”Top” Wrap=”True” Trimming=”EllipsisCharacter” ForeColor=”#00FFFFFF” BackColor=”#00000000″ /{
{/Layer{
{/Layer{
{Layer ID=”NoItems”{
{Text ID=”Text” Width=”240″ Height=”20″ FontFamily=”Tahoma” FontSize=”10″ ForeColor=”#00FFFFFF” Wrap=”False” HorizontalAlignment=”Center” Trimming=”Character” InnerTextType=”Resource”{shellres.dll,22596{/Text{
{/Layer{
{/GridView{
{/StartMenu_GridScene{
{/Form{
Looks like XAML to me which raises the question does WM6.5 have the ability to parse and render XAML ?
Ive ziped the controls here for anyone who wants to have a look http://rapidshare.com/files/23.....eycomb.zip
