UI/UX Redesign

Completed a UI/UX redesign of the virtual desktop menu bar and dialogs – for a more intuitive user experience and modern appearance.  Key changes include:

• Display of the most commonly used features directly in the menu bar. Access to advanced features via the “More” menu.
• Named menu options in addition to symbols. Descriptive text / instructions in feature dialogs.
• Ability to collapse (hide) and expand (unhide) the menu bar via arrow buttons.
• Improved Messenger style with larger font and a clearer interface.
