 |
| Main Window |
This is the view of a main window. There is a Ribbon Bar at the top with all the commands readily available. On the left you can select various views, such as Graph, Table, Calendar, etc. On the right you can select profiles, cycles, and activities you want to work with. And in the center there is actual view of the biorhythms. Right under it is the information pane that provides in depth information for the currently selected Date-Individual combination. |
|
|
| Welcome! |
When Biorhythms Plus! starts, by default, it will greet you with a Welcome Screen. This screen shows most important information right away - such as vital biorhythms stats for today, some insightful details about today's date, moon phase information, as well as frequently used commands and helpful tips. It's an ideal way to get started with Biorhythms Plus! quickly! |

| Ribbon UI: Everything at Your Fingertips |
Ribbon UI was introduced by Microsoft in its Office 2007 suite of products. We decided that having such a UI for our application will prove indispensable! It effectively merges menu bar, and toolbars, making all the commands and controls instantly accessible. Spend no more than one or 2 clicks to accomplish what you want - be it changing the start date, selecting an image set , or toggling grid lines! |
|
|
| First-Time Configuration |
Biorhythms Plus! allows you to personalize it from the very start! When you first start the program, you will be prompted to create your profile, and select various preferences, so you can get started using the program as soon as possible. Not only does it save you time, but it allows for better ease of use. |
|  |
|
 |
| Many Options |
Biorhythms Plus! Is very customizable and allows you to easily configure itself to suit your needs. Options range from UI, Navigation to Formats used within the program. You can customize date and time formats, start up options, mouse wheel behavior, numerology options, and much more! |
|
|
| Tabbed Multiple Document Interface |
Biorhythms Plus! fully supports Multiple Document Interface - MDI to allow you work more efficiently! Tabs make it easy to switch between opened documents, while drag-and-drop simplifies rearranging windows for better view. It also allows you to see different views of the same situation side-by-side. For example, you can see the Graph and Table views of the same biorhythms information next to each other for easier interpretation, as shown here. This feature is limited in Standard Edition! Full support is available in Premium Edition. |
|  |
|
 |
| Splash Screen |
Every professional application has a nice-looking, and descriptive splash screen. Ours is no exception to this rule! As Biorhythms Plus! starts up, splash screen slowly fades in while playing a nice startup melody (which you can turn off if you don;t like it - in fact you can customize nearly all aspects of Biorhythms Plus!) and showing what is currently being loaded, as well as the product edition you have purchased. 5 Stars means the best :) |
|
|
| Organize and Select Profiles |
Biorhythms Plus! makes it very easy to prepare a particular biorhythms view for analysis. Selectors play an important role in this, like this Profile Selector. Not only does it allow you to select one or more profiles for analysis, you can also sort, add, delete, and edit them right in place. You can even assign pictures! Also note how it clearly shows not only the person's name, but also his/her zodiac sign, gender, picture (in this example no pictures were assigned, so default image is displayed), and in the final version it will also have super-tips as well as some numerology data. Operation is also easy: Click to select, Double-Click to edit, and Ctrl-Click to select multiple profiles! |

 |
| Visualize Data Easily |
Wouldn't it be nice instead of seeing biorhythms graph, or at best a precise percentage representing person's state on a particular day, to also see some meaningful image, so you could judge quickly about person's state? Yes, it would! In fact there are six different images that you can see next to a value - smiley face, for example, means that you're great, while crying face, means you are likely to be at the bottom of passive phase - not too good! But it's not just smiley or sad faces you can choose from! There are over 50 different image sets - from weather icons and symbols, to traffic lights and flags - choose whichever you want. And if you are still unhappy, - you can assign your own images (perhaps your own photos)! |
|
|
| Visualizations (Image Sets) Manager |
You can manage image sets and visualizations using Image Sets Manager. Not only that – you can even edit existing and create new image sets – should you be unhappy about built-in ones. This feature is available in Premium Edition only. |
|  |
|
 |
| Microsoft Outlook Support |
Biorhythms Plus! 2008 is the only biorhythms application that has built-in Microsoft Outlook support. It allows you to export biorhythms information, information about activities that will occur, and moon phases directly to Outlook. Various options are available, such as whether or not a reminder should be set, including reminder time, and much more. This feature is available in Premium Edition only, or as a Separate Addon. |
|
|
| Live Previews |
Biorhythms Plus! is a very intelligent program! It will not show a stupid "Go to next month" tooltip when you hover over a button, instead it will show a tooltip that says "Go to April" - it learns from its current state. Likewise, here you can see a live rendering that is created very quickly on the fly - of what the Chart view would look like after you switch to it! Note that the rendered chart is exactly the same as the graph in the current view! |
|  |
|
 |
| Right-Click Can Be Useful |
There are various context menus in Biorhythms Plus! There's one in Profile Selector, for example, which you saw earlier. However the most frequently accessed context menu is probably this one. Whenever you right-click on an data-item in the active view - be it a cell in the table, an entry in a calendar, or a point on the graph, as is the case here, you are presented with a nice popup menu. It allows you to export information to Outlook, create a journal entry (describing whether or not that prediction was accurate for you, so Biorhythms Plus! can learn), add a reminder (so that for example if it's critical day, a nice Outlook-like reminder will appear at the lower-right corner, letting you know it's coming...), and more! |
|
|
| Vital Information When You Need It! |
The area under the current view is called the Info Pane. it shows detailed information for a particular Individual-Date combination, namely the active data-item in the view. As you hover your mouse over different points in the graph, the pane will update itself, showing you relevant information, such as the person's details, moon phase information, numerology details for that person for that date, astrology information, and of course - biorhythms state! And if you need even more information, then you can hover your mouse over each element to see an even more detailed tip. |
|  |
|
 |
| Making Use of System Tray |
Biorhythms Plus! makes use of system tray area in several ways. It can for example start up whenever Windows starts and load in system tray, so it will run in the background and notify you about important events, like critical days and activities (you set this up in Alerts center). Or, whenever it starts, it displays an overview of your biorhythms status, showing the average of primary cycles as is shown here. |
|
|
| Timeline View |
If Graph, Chart, Table, Calendar, text, and Report views are not enough for you, there is...yes...one more view, called Timeline. It looks and behaves exactly like the Timeline view you find in Outlook. It is especially useful to see for how long certain activities run. By now you have heard word "activities" many times, and you may rightfully wonder what that is in this context. Well, it's one of the unique features of Biorhythms Plus! You say that for example: "I feel like running only when my Physical State is higher than +20%, and my Emotional State is not lower than -30%, and it's not a full moon" - that's it. You have created an activity, and Biorhythms Plus! from now on will include it in various views, and in alerts and notify you when the conditions you defined for it are met! Very handy! This feature is available in Premium Edition only. |

 |
| 3D Is Not Only For Games! |
Biorhythms Plus! offers very cool-looking interactive, rotatable 3D charts and graphs. And yes, you can print these too!. |
|
|
| Zero Learning Curve |
Even though we plan on including a help file with the program, chances are you will never read it. Why? Simply because the UI is very self explanatory, with all its icons, arrows, etc., but not only that - super-tooltips will ensure all your questions are answered before they start annoy you! And , like we said before - many tooltips include live previews - in this case it's a live preview of Custom Start Date dialog box. But there's more to help in Biorhythms Plus! Built-in interactive tutorial will play a quick introductory audio as well as show important information whenever you access big feature for the first time! |

 |
| More Visualizations! |
As we sad there are over 50 different image sets from which you can choose. This illustrates one of the Weather image sets. Doesn't it make the table view more attractive? |
