This is easier to implement than a tray icon with a overlay and much better visible. Dropbox does this now too. We still have to think of the color code we should use. I think dropbox uses blue for synchronizing and white for done synchronizing. We could implement a similar strategy. @Eliomendes , could you provide us with a blue tray icon, thanks.

Some strange errors also happen:

[13160:1228/161852.855:ERROR:gles2_cmd_decoder.cc(17403)] [.DisplayCompositor-0000000005CC4910]GL ERROR :GL_INVALID_OPERATION : glCreateAndConsumeTextureCHROMIUM: invalid mailbox name

Launching goobox.exe shows a security warning for unknown publisher:

We should use the code signing feature of electron builder.

More and more consumer computers have 2-4k screens which can cause app scalability issues on the respective systems (mainly windows) which can for example cause the settings or any pop-up window to be very small.

There is a comma in the tray menu that is not supposed to be there:

When a user clicks on the tray icon once a window should appear as demonstrated below that shows a summary of the user's account/activity.

icons are here: https://github.com/GooBox/brand-design/tree/master/Tray_status_icons/mac_icons/black%20theme

The icons look much crisper if they have a higher resolution. The standard tray icon doesn't look crisp on a 1080p display on windows and completely awful on a 4k display. Other option would be to set the 3x only for machines with a 4k display.

The tray icons are outdated, new ones are here: https://github.com/GooBox/brand-design/tree/master/Tray_status_icons

Since we are running up on close to 100MB worth of data for the app, we should consider allowing the user to download say a 2-10 MB executable and then the app downloads the rest of the data necessary for the app at start. Something like google chrome does:

Though this is not vital right now, it does increase user experience as most users don't like downloading large executables.

When i go to register an account and enter a email address that is already registered or invalid, then click back and next again, it takes me to the login screen but still shows me the text from the registration screen with the error. The app should update the text to the default text of the screen in that case (reset it).

BrowserWindow -> skipTaskbar: true

Although we should inform the user for the update and ask them to install it, we should carry out the installation for them, like FileZilla does. I think dropbox just installs updates automatically, though that might bring some security issues with it. Both options can be considered.

Right now it doesn't show the user which path is selected which will cause questions like "mnn did i selected the path or not?".

Solution: Add the path selected as text centered below the "browse..." box. Text-> white, same size as "Don't have an account?" in the Storj screen.

Spacing can be the same as the one here:

Clicking it does nothing at the moment, not sure if this is intended or not but it used to work in one of the earlier versions.

This can be implemented as a simple notification. We have to do this in order to prevent the user(s) from loosing their files. E.g. we can give them a warning 7 days before the funds run-out.

related to GooBox/goobox-sync-storj#45. This will improve UX.

When right clicking on the tray icon -> exit nothing happens and i get the following terminal output:

This way users require less clicks to get to goobox which improves overall app experience.

If a user logs in from another machine with a password and email address but uses a wrong seed, the app won't be able to decrypt the bucket or decrypt the files, which will result in errors. The app should check if it can decrypt the bucket or not, if it can't, it should prompt the user that he or she entered a wrong seed and should try entering the correct seed,

Today I launched the GUI for first time ever and I got dialogs appear with the Chrome Dev Console on by default. This is valid for both the Installer and the Tray Popup. See the attached screenshots.

I could easily close the dev console by clicking on the X button, but it's quite confusing to have it.

I have setup the Goobox sync folder to `C:\Users\John Doe\Goobox'. If I try to open the sync folder from the GUI, I get the following error:

If i start the app a second time after the "getting some tools" screen it will render the screen for about 1 second. But this is not necessary because the tools (JRE) have already been installed previously.

I have two UX issues with the mouse cursor in the GUI:

1. It does not change to a finger cursor on the widgets I can click on. It just stays with the default cursor and I am not sure if that image or arrow is a button or not.
2. It changes to editing cursor on text labels although I can neither select or edit them.

This includes the tray icon with appropriate status overlays and the desktop icon(s). We will have to check with icon fits best for each OS and which one is the nicest in general.

Work with the designer to implement the setup GUI for the goobox community app.

windows 10 home, x64

1. Double clicking on goobox.exe does nothing (it does open a task manager process though).
2. executing goobox.exe installer opens a white screen, see screenshot below, including 3x task manager processes.

This to ensure users know when they are close to running out of funds. Use clicks on the tray icon and then settings -> billing.

maybe adding a ETA until funds run out would also be cool.

This should be included as a setting and should be enabled by default.

This makes the installer simpler and look more clean.

Icons can be found here: https://github.com/GooBox/brand-design/tree/master/sync_dir_icons. I discussed about this with @kaloyan-raev a few days ago.

Initially we can include some of the same (and basic) options other apps like Dropbox offer, which includes

• General
• Account
• Folders and Drives
• Sync folder
• Bandwidth
• Notifications

After the basic implementation we should aim at for example display the SIA, Storj or SIA + Storj account details in Account, this includes wallet address, amount of funds on the address, spending info, seed, passwords...

The background doesn't reach all sides of the window:

This is where the Storj and SIA back-ends should be integrated to ensure that each individual repo can function in the app in harmony together with the other repo. This is especially important to get right for users that use Storj + Sia to avoid conflict.

If for some reason sync-Storj or Sync-SIA crashes, it should try to restart it after a few seconds or so and output the restart even (with reason for restart) to the logs which will allow us to troubleshoot. This to ensure that when users run the GUI and sync-storj or sync-SIA crashes, that they don't keep running a app that won't sync.

Later down the line adding something like a notification of failure to start would be a good one.

We should also not allow users to go above of the available funds and send a notification to settings -> notifications once they get close to using up all the funds.

It would be a cool feature for later down the road to automatically create a screenshots folder in the sync folder to which screenshots are saved.

Right now if i stay on the wallet screen for too long without pressing next (even though i can), i get the message that the account is setup correctly, then when i get to the last screen it says that the app is getting sia ready, though i already got the notification. This might confuse people as they might think they are supposed to get a notification after they close the installer, not realizing the message they received was already the "your account is ready" message.

How to reproduce: click on finish while the app is thinking.

Since the GUI already has a menu and tray icon we shouldn't have a second one.
