Well is is more energetically-efficient to browse the classic menu due to less clicks and also easier return from multiply-folded submenus. Also there is no need for scrolling because all items are placed compactly.
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.
Did the study show an opposite?
I didn't word my reply very well, I meant the usability study showed that it was more efficient to navigate (which indicates more energy efficiency, not less). And yes you click more, but you move the mouse less. You also don't have menu failures where the mouse leaves the current level and you have to then go back to find the item from the previous tier (which can be time consuming and *very* annoying). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
