And yet the usability study performed when the slab style menu was developed showed the exact opposite of this claim.
That it needs less clicks? In kickoff you need to click to enter each submenu and a click to return from each submenu by one one level. Also you have to scroll.
Not number of clicks, usability entails more precise measures like that. It's quite possible that the dense packing in the classical menu hinders efficient navigation. Users have to read more, they have to search (visually) more, and they have to aim better. Lots of people are really clumsy with the mouse pointer, so, usability gets hurt by packing densely. Just shooting in the dark, but I'd bet that's what the usability test came up with. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
