Hi everyone,
we want to redesign the YaST Control Center. Therefore we are looking for a radical new design.
I agree with everyone else. It doesn't need a "complete" redesign. A few tweaks maybe, but not a whole new design. It's functional. It works. And even a NOOB can figure out what the heck does what. I did with my first install of SuSE 9.0, AND without asking any mailing list.
I don't know how competent you were with a computer with SUSE 9.0. I remember using 9.0, and (the QT based YaST, anyway) was exactly the same. The number of YaST modules has gone up, the things YaST can do has gone up, and for a new user it can be very confusing!
If someone can't figure out Yast I have two suggestions:
a) Return your computer to where you bought it. They are probably to stupid to own one anyway. b) Stick with Windows. Your computer on training wheels. Besides, Billy will be more than glad to trash your computer for you.
Do you know how much we all hate it when people tell users who are a little confused with Linux to just "run back to Windows"?
The examples on the page looked a whole lot like KDE System Settings with more functionality. If that's what your shooting for, just add modules to System Settings.
That is an idea, but it still doesn't help the 'figuring out which module to use' part.
Yast is, hands down, the best control center for any distro I have looked at.
I agree.
This is your chance to share your ideas regarding YaST Control
Center.
Two thoughts:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Here's the thing: YaST isn't broken, since YaST is basically just a container for launching the YaST modules. ON that note, a bunch of icons in a window is perfect! But, a new user might not know where to go to do certain things. This is what is being discussed.
