Abstract

I have started working on a graphical user interface frontend. The UI is in early development stage.

GUI Prototyping

March 2025:

As a first step, I have started to prototype the graphical framework.

  • Windows (yes I know, many people prefer Linux)
  • Screen structure similar to Visual Studio
    • Docking Bars
    • MDI
    • black and bright color styles
    • I decided to use Ribbon instead of Menu bars

I am using the mockup on the left to experiment with different UI styles and screen organizations. The data is still fake because I am only focusing on screen representation.

July 2026:

This GUI sketch may serve as my universal DCC and RailCom logging interface. It is being designed to be used for real-time monitoring of all relevant layout data.
