Interface
What’s with this interface? It doesn't look like an Access app.
(Thank you. My Access apps rarely do.)
This interface was designed with two things in mind; 1, My complete boredom with
gray beveled windows and grey beveled fields and gray beveled buttons, and 2,
(because training this thing takes so long) I wanted to be able to see what
the app
was doing from across the room.
I wanted to do something different, something simple but cool (maybe a little
Okuda-like), and something I could do easily with simple Access controls. The
result is this “Neural Workbench.”
There is a simple graphical language involved:
• The solid blue boxes are “buttons” (they aren’t really buttons, they’re
actually Access label controls with a solid background and an “on-click event”)
They “light-up” orange when they are active.
• Text fields with boxes are places you can type (i.e. input)
• Text fields without boxes are places the computer is telling you something
(i.e. output)
