beta time!

Several lion-hearted people out there started testing fruux during the last week. Taking the system stats into account it even looks like there are some everyday/productive users besides the team. It's a great pleasure that some of you already adopted fruux into your everyday life! Now we'd like YOU to join us testing fruux! Applying is quite simple, just get in touch with us and tell us a bit about you and your motivation to test fruux. We'll happily provide you with the fruux application and a demo account.

UPDATE: fruux is in public beta - download it here.

fruux icon evolution

While we are readying the system for a broader betatest our pixelguru Martin spent some time on the icon of our client application. The journey started of course with our logo. Adding some gloss and depth... adding some details and glow... adding more depth and a typical system preferences icon shadow... well yes - it's not ready yet, but sufficent for our upcoming beta.

Icon_4

The following screenshots show the current look and feel of our application.

System_prefs

Our icon still needs some optimization for different resolutions and sizes.
