Making pretty UI as a break from real work
I took a break this afternoon to start to pretty up the POP Forums v8 admin. This isn't even a fraction of what it's going to be (the navigation is incomplete), but it's a start. It just makes everything feel more "real" when you have something that looks nice and you can touch and feel. I'm a long way from getting this thing into usable shape, but having a little bit of UI makes you feel like you're at least accomplishing something, a feeling missing when you spend hours heads-down working.
