Device/Computer Applications (Software Developer)

Melanite (** current software title -- to be renamed "Mild Art Wallpapers **)

Mild Backgrounds App Icon

Melanite (more properly: "Mild Art Wallpapers" contains a wrapped up wide variety of unique images for the Windows personalization background and lock screen. Three photography collections and two graphic design collections are included. Images come in three variants of contrast mildness, to vary reduction of background image visual conflict with foreground screen elements, such as text, buttons, window frames, and content images. The included Adjustment Studio features custom adjustment of contrast intensity from mildness presets, and features desktop and lock screen simulations for visual assessment of desired overall look. Images have been selected in favor of wan lighting, mild shadow contrast, and mild highlights. The subdued and dull initial look of many app images is intentional and deceptive to vision, and stands out as a great strength of this app, though not readily apparent at first look. These images are not meant to be focused on but are meant to lie in the background unobtrusively.

Applications Focused on Specialty Activities

The category of most software development projects I am involved with is that of Productivity Applications.


A significant number of app projects under conceptual design and prototype development are geared to fill unsung needs for content creators, or artists, designers, and authors, to access a specialty design assessment and/or planning small app, for focusing in detail, and with expert level features and flexibility, on dedicated aspects of design or authorship in creating digital content.


The remainder of app projects under conceptual design and prototype development, also being a significant number of more app projects, are instead geared toward standard content consumers and everyday PC users.

Device Types Supported

App projects under development are aimed initially at usage on PC desktop, laptop and sizeable tablet computers. In the future mobile phone devices might be supported, offering mobile versions of original applications that mirror desktop and laptop app behavior, that in many cases would synchronize with preexisting desktop and laptop app data. Possibly, in more remote future scenarios, web applications for browsers might be supported, to allow for independent online access to application capabilities, when installed desktop/laptop and mobile phone applications are not available for app users to access.

Tools, Languages, Frameworks and API's

Technologies utilized include: Visual Studio Community Edition (free to solo developers), C# and VB Managed coding languages, Universal Windows Platform (UWP), XAML, .NET Core, Xamarin Forms, ASP.NET Core, Azure, XML for custom database engines, and Windows Media Foundation for advanced audio and media capabilities.

Multiple Project Synergy

Switching work between multiple app projects is very effective in leveraging lessons learned from design work on differing user interfaces, with differing feature access and engagement sequencing, and differing business logic driving the projects by unseen event code. In this way, cases of blocked creativity or stubborn bugs encountered in a project never halt or retard overall progress, as a switch can be made to work on other projects, allowing later look at the problem(s). Also, each exposure to different projects tends to raise new insights unique to the technology and coder's methodology applicable in each differing project. Innovations paved to completion in a particular project can then be implemented similarly elsewhere, to embellish, improve, or be duplicated in other projects. The synergistic benefits of multiple project work are tried and proven.

Testing Processes

The reliability, approachability and efficiencies of contemporary App Stores to handle many testing and installation functions, instead of those being done independently by the developer, greatly reduces the time and effort a developer need put toward testing and quality assurance. Submission of a finished app to App Stores involves an app being tested in detail via automated checking, and then reviewed by Store personnel. This amounts to a large portion of typical software engineering quality assurance testing workload transferred to App Stores. This frees in-house testing efforts to attend more particularly to business logic and feature flow assessment.

Store Marketing

App Stores provide excellent means of showcasing applications for sale to prospective customers. App Stores offer built-in free or economical marketing and discovery of applications, by ways such as allowing smooth search of app titles and keywords, and low-cost targeted sales promotions. For the software seller, there is no longer the need to contract for expensive merchant account services, there is no longer the need to assemble and manage an expensive web shopping cart on the company website, unexposed to customers without costly marketing campaigns, and there is no longer the need to expend very large sums of financial powers in efforts to promote discovery of a companies’ sales site. This amounts to a complete and total paradigm shift for the software developer and publisher, especially for desktop and laptop PC users.

Support Implementation

Publishing software via App Stores involves a less burdensome support model for the developer to provide to end users. Dedicated on-demand software support is a free and optional matter and is up to each individual developer to offer voluntarily, choosing what basic support to offer in excess of minimum expectations. The primary support to the app customer is a matter of the developer being preemptive and responsible with timely updates to applications. Secondary support to the app user is provided using a combination of Help Text available in-app, dedicated company software support website How-To, Tutorials, and FAQ. Software bugs, logic errors, and feature deficiencies can be judged by reviewing the Feedback hosted by App Stores. Personalized direct contact support will not be offered, and instead only online resources for user search will be maintained available for users to access, greatly reducing the time and effort needed to provide basic support options to end users.

Device Types Supported

App projects under development are aimed initially at usage on PC desktop, laptop and sizeable tablet computers running the Windows 10/11 operating system. In the future Android smartphone devices might be supported, offering mobile versions of original apps that mirror Windows 10/11 app behavior, that in many cases would synchronize with preexisting Windows 10/11 app data. Possibly, in more remote future scenarios, web applications for browsers might be supported, to allow for independent online access to application capabilities, when installed Windows 10/11 or Android apps are not available for app users to access.

The Beauty of Decay

Beauty of Decay album cover art

Decay, or de-chaos, de-Okay, is the process of millisecond in the occurent (present tense) change, aging, and proceeding to new fresh seconds, with old days and years behind us. Entropy and decay (dechaos) are very beautiful aspects of flaw in nature.


Air Elementals

The ambient atmospheric air I am very adept and learned concerning, having specialized in very low altitude aeronautical issues, plus thermodynamics. The air is full of much more than green bottled (bl)oxygen [chemical naming being unbeneficial in tone] and the variety of beautiful 'impurities' to the air is very good for us. I am a vaper and I appreciate not breathing too purely, akin to outer space vacuum.

and Pain Ordeal

The brisk feeling of a summer morning at high altitude after exiting a camping tent, and the nice very cool sensation of ice touching the fingers in the kitchen before placing ice cubes in a glass for drinking, illustrate that pain is a wonderful thing for us, our major detection, notice, sensation syste. My former severe brain atrophy was quite the ordeal of pain not working correctly - partially not enough tiny-time short sensitivity (somewhat numbed) and partially too much longer time entrenched discomfort (somewhat long duration pain scales medium).
