- I wonder about the menu on the left side. IIRC this was already discussed (and dismissed !) some time ago and a tab-style approach preferred. Other functions can be placed in an application menu bar placed horizontally at the top of the window.
I tried the application bar approach first and to be honest: it looked so bad, that I didn't even dare to send it around :-(
I'm mostly concerned about consistency across YaST modules. If the printer module now starts with left-side trees for navigation, how does it look for other modules ? IIRC, we had this discussion about 2 or 3 years ago and dismissed the left-side tree approach. Please check back with other members from the usability team.
- The "Status" column in unclear. Which information does it show ?
It shows the status of the print queue: check mark means: accepting print jobs and printing enabled x means: either one of the two conditions or both are not in place. Text was also the first idea we had, but it was too long and it required horizontal scrolling which is really, really nasty. So we decided to use icons.
Icons are fine, but its not clear to me what a 'big red X' means. Lets look at other icons to make the state clearer.
