Hi

I'm now working on icy term UI - I want to improve the UI in general. I know that the phonebook can use some way of sorting things/favourites.


But what's about the thing in general. Is the work flow good? Any things to complain - beside of "make the phonebook nicer" and "make disconnects more visible"? 

Note: I released a new version with fixed SSH lib. 

The UI lib I want to test out is not yet released but I want to make a prototype with better UI workflow. I want to keep it 'simple' for... let's say modern audiences so adding 10000 buttons is not something I want to do.

I've two main goals: support fallback rendering so that it works on systems or virtual machines not capable of initializing 3D graphics and provide a better UX in general. I didn't put too much effort in that - developed the rendering engine - fixing the UI later.

I guess later is now - so I'm interested in ideas - may be the last time this decade I make a so large UI overhaul for my icy* tools (switched icy term UI lib once if anyone remembers).
