If you're looking for more inspiration for ideas, beware of our [[TODO]] (and the other TODO lists linked from there) and our [[OpenTasks]] pages. Many of the tasks listed there might be incomplete or outdated, or too difficult for a new developer. The best thing to do is to come and talk to us!

== GUI Tasks ==
Our current GUI could use refreshing and updating, in particular to improve how
it works with newer platforms such as iOS or Android. We have a few suggested
tasks:
=== Improve touchscreen GUI <span style="color:red">(To be confirmed)</span>===
Technical contacts: [[User:Sev|sev]].
Difficulty level: Easy (code) / medium (architecture). You'll need a touchscreen device which can run ScummVM, to test on.
Our launcher/options GUI has been designed for keyboard/mouse input, and does
not work well in practice on modern touchscreen devices.
Since it is theme based, part of the problem can be resolved by using a custom
theme. However, our GUI code will need extensions to allow it to behave like a
proper touchscreen application. See [[OpenTasks/Generic/Touch GUI]] for more details.
=== Improve Main GUI <span style="color:red">(To be confirmed)</span>===
Technical contacts: [[User:Sev|sev]].
Difficulty level: Easy.
We have a wishlist for improved GUI widgets; we'd like better sliders, multiline text widgets, an improved list widget, and better widgets for PopUps.
Also, several years ago, we switched to a new XML-based and vector-based GUI, but unfortunately during this transition number of nice touches were lost. In particular, the current GUI lacks soft shadows and antialiasing in number of places. We'd like them back! At the same time, it would be nice to add support for transparent PNG files.
Finally, it would be nice to have support for a scalable GUI which looks good at modern resolutions, which would require changes to our theme format, among other improvements.
See [[OpenTasks/Generic/Improve GUI Look]] for more details.
