In another thread, Henrik was nice enough to post a link to a gallery of some screenshots of several Aware apps - some with stunning functionality. Very inspiring.

1) looks fantastic - thanks for sharing this gallery - definitely inspirational

2) SLIDE 8 - first thing I notice is this isn't any "normally" provided menu in Aware. I'd say its HTML, and I'd hope its a menu that auto pops out when you hover over it. I'd love to do this as I don't like the provided menu cause it doesn't auto-expand. Also, this menu is "on top" of the panel - it didn't shrink viewable panel space when expanded. I've done a left-side HTML menu as it was the only way to get Badges working - AND refreshable. I had a problem where the menu wouldn't redraw to update badges. Nicely done!

3) SLIDE 14 - WOW - I need to do tags in a system and have no real idea of how I want to do it. Looks fantastic.
MIDDLE panel is a query OR a grid widget of a OM - but how's that heading made?
1st panel - no idea how all thats in there
3rd panel - entering a new Journal instance - looks great

4) SLIDE 21 - right side - WHOA
How the hell? One annoying thing about UI in aware is in a tight space like you have, using a Panel Toolbar for a NEW Button wastes a ton of room. I've looked at Kendo Grid API and I don't see how you've got Buttons in that Paging Bar. Brilliant!
It must be a Custom Header to give you that Search Box AND the Operations Pulldown.

5) SLIDE 22 - kinda looks like nothing fancy at FIRST GLANCE, but then I've got a screen where I needed to show a Sales Pipeline and need to select an employee. So I had to do a left/right panel with a Query of Employees on left, the default action click on a row ran a Query to show the report in the right panel. Standard stuff, but a Top Pulldown is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Would be perfect for what I need.

6) SLIDE 3 - I like this - I need to give a overall Notes History on a Contact - this may take up more room vertically, but it sure looks nice & modern A+++

Overall, its a great example of lots of time spent on UI.
Kinda puts things in perspective on how rudimentary some of our/my screens and UI is.
The FokalPoint system barely looks like a Aware system - some standard Kendo grid things stand out, but WOW, that system looks great.
