Hi, My name is Spike. I am not trained in usability, but rather self taught, so feel free to correct any misconceptions I may post. That said, I am keenly interested in usability (hence joining this mailing list), and have read extensively about it. Always game for more reading materials if anyone has any suggestions!
Moving along to my random thoughts/suggestions on Unity (inspired in part by the post on the Canonical design blog about Unity's usability testing): 1) Make the minimize action point to the icons on the panel, instead of having windows simply fade from existence. This will show users where the application went, and should lead to the discovery of the expose` action 2) Give the side panel drag n drop (I read somewhere this is coming) for adding/removing launchers 3) Make the files/folders, applications, trash, and removable device icons colored. The current white icons sends the signal that these icons are inactive. That is pretty much all I can think of for now. Hope I am not being redundant. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
