One problem is they don't actually look like buttons, though (or at least, they didn't to Andy and I). As Andy also points out, that the most prominent feature in the dialog (the icons) is the least useful in many cases, because the 'before' and 'after' will often be identical. I've no doubt the dialog works for some people (like yourself), and that it works better when the icons are recognisable thumbnails, and that some amount of usability testing was probably done on it. I'd just like to think we can do better :) Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GNOME Desktop Team http://blogs.sun.com/calum +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list Usability@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
