New interface design for the 1C: Enterprise platform

1C Company has addressed us with the task of developing the concept of a 1C: Enterprise platform interface design. The task was quite simple: to draw a light, simple, elegant, innovative, modern, light, clean, stylish, thin, airy interface .

Here's what the interface looked like before our intervention:


Together with the specialists of the company, we went through dozens of options. Our recycle bin overflowed with defective textures, too juicy or too rotten palettes, too contrasting or too imperceptible strokes, as well as many details that were difficult to implement technically. In the end, we cut the final result of our efforts into 200 small pieces, and together with 1C programmers we assembled a new interface from them:

Pay attention to the window frame, sheltered many buttons. Placing common (not applied) commands there, we reduced the height of the header and freed up space for the information that the user really needed:



For the top-level sections panel, we drew several large and beautiful icons:



On June 30, 2009, 1C announced the launch of testing the 1C: Enterprise 8.2 platform with a new interface. Here are some comments from the first users of the Magic Forum :

The interface is very cool, only the color range is lame, and so Super!	With unaccustomed eyes it cuts, although if I get used to it, then I think it will not cut less
I do not know how everyone. I liked the new interface. :) Of course Icons are very necessary. Directory, etc. And also work with the same databases when two similar documents are opened. :( Everything else is pleasing to the eye ... I showed it to many everyone is happy ... :)	Do they really not understand that the user will make the first impression of the appearance of the program ... and 90% of weak-aged bookkeepers of old age will scream at once “we don’t like it, everything’s not so. want as it was "
In my opinion the new interface is better. No sharp color transitions.	The contrast between the windows and the background is greatly reduced. Eyes harder. In general, he noted that in the new interface there is much less contrast between the elements of the form. For example, the borders of input fields have become brighter ... I understand that I want something new and fashionable, but we should not forget about nature :)
