@Jabo38, update from Wesley on GUI progress
TL:DR
i) Wesley (GUI dev) very busy with RL work. We have two new GUI devs.
ii) Re-skin of client theme being developed by Mrv777.
iii) Monetary system confirmed by two devs now as being in version 1.4.0
iv) Due to public demand, Jones&Wesley working on a wallet.dat system for Nxt
v) A fourth GUI dev, Crimi, may be joining soon. I believe Crimi currently runs the very useful peerexplorer.com atm.
vi) Humanfractal's idea of QR login/signing seems to be in the pipeline.
vii) Having more GUI devs will speed up the releases of Nxt (and get us along the tech tree quicker
)

)As you may have noticed I have been absent from the forum these past few weeks. As I have said in some of my last posts, this is due to "real world commitments" (job) that are taking up all my time.
Fortunately, we already have 2 new GUI developers working on core that are doing a great job. Mrv777 is working on his theme changer, a feature that I didnt have time to develop, and is also working on the UI for a 1.4 feature, the "monetary system".
Jones as I understand it is working on wallet.dat and a few other things. And I hear crimi may also be interested in joining the GUI developers sometime soon.
Having multiple GUI developers just makes sense, it was never good to rely on a single person (me) in the past. It should also bring new ideas and innovations, such as the QR login / signing idea from HumanFractal. And of course it will speed up development, which sometimes has to wait for GUI development before being able to test things properly (this was partly why 1.3 took so long).
