==== UI notes from limi ==== | |||
''I will say — in general — that I'm not a big fan of icons for operations that aren't immediately obvious. E.g. Firebug's switch from an "Inspect" text labeled button to their current icon made the UI more confusing. Even Microsoft are moving away from icon-based UIs with their latest efforts (Windows 7, Office 2010, Win7 Mobile). Very few icons are universal, and text usually makes the UI clearer — especially in niche applications.'' | |||
This is making me reconsider the toolpalette above. It might make more sense to drop a toolbar onto the Tree panel and used text-buttons. The extra space in the toolbar would also act as a drag-target en lieu of a title bar. | |||
