Hi everyone,
thanks for all your comments on the YaST Control Center redesign so far.
Please find another suggestion for a radical and innovative redesign on: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/New_Control_Center#Tagcloudish
The main thought beyond that idea is to increase the size of the modules when the user has used it. Similar to tag clouds, modules that are used often become bigger and therefore * easier to detect * easier to open because the size the user needs to hit with his mouse was increased. The different size would also serve as a kind of "Recently Used" reminder.
The "HowTo Guide" link will lead to a HowTo/Troubleshooting Wiki. This should serve as a replacement for "help". This makes sense, because studies show, that due to bad experiences users don't expect any help beyond a help button.
The use of similar icons in the service section represents modules that are not installed yet.
I would like to get your comments on that idea. Please note, that the categorization and the modules were picked by chance. The important thing is the idea, that is behind that. And maybe it is worth to give it a try as it is something no control center has yet. Even Apple doesn't have such kind of thing :-)
Best regards,
Martin

Well, lets see.............. The different module icons are arranged horizontal rather than vertical. It shows module icons for more than one grouping at a time. Hmmmmm???????? YUP! That's pretty radical alright. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
