WapcamServer 1.4 New Interface

A short time ago, I released WapcamServer1.4 Alpha. Not that the 1.4 version is so close to be released, but I wanted to show that, more than one year after 1.3 release, the work is still on and cool features are coming.
Actually this Aplha version has the full streaming server as will be released in final 1.4. But there are still many offside features to develop regarding the whole program and not only streaming. However, in my hurry, I left one ugly bug: the port texfield of the streaming server has nothing to see with the rtsp port config. It would most likely display the port numberof the webserver. This is now fixed, but I am ashamed because it appears on the very first screen. As I fixed this, I also told myself there are many things regarding the GUI that should be done: make a more comprehensive-easy-to-use user interface and most of all, less messy.
I think this is about to be done and the result is not so bad. Here's a
sneak preview of the 1.4 final look-and-feel, compared to the old interface.

it could be nice to make 1 "init" button instead of having to click on both. Or make the "init" action automatic when you start the program?
Good luck, great work so far
Hi Chloé, thank your for your comment. You just can't have only one single button, because after initializing, you still have to choose your device. Of course I could make initialization automatic on startup, but then you would have to reload the program everytime your conf changes.
Concerning the init action on startup, this is an interesting point: I plan to release for WapcamServer1.4 a feature that will launch all required services at startup. This way, we will be able to register WapcamServer as a service, starting on computer's boot.
