[delicious-discuss] delicious firefox poster gui question
This comment comes from a use it before I read the instructions person. It wasn't until recently that I realized I could click on the tags in the extension window to add them to the tag list. happened by accident. Got me to thinking -- why hadn't I realized it naturally? What experience with user interface built up this lack of expectation? Here are a couple of cropped screenshots to illustrate http://flickr.com/photos/sheila/sets/953335/ I think maybe it has to do with the lack of mouseover feedback, as well as the gray color juxtaposed with the white input field color. Text in a gray window panel isn't typically a sign of activatable content is it? My firefox menubar is a counterexample, but those text words provide feedback on mouseover. Same thing happens with text in a web page, typically. Clickable regions of text standout* from non clickable regions. (if they don't, that's a flaw, imo). Is there some place I can read more about this? I switched worlds from embedded programming to an applications environment and I work more with GUIs and UIs in general these days. I've had this same question re grey panes with actionable text in relation to some of the GUIs I've been working on. Since the GUIs I work with aren't in the context of a webbrowsing experience, I don't think the user expectation will be the same, but I think there is probably some similar principle at work overall. * not necessarily literally, but they are distinguished in some way. -- sheila ___ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I agree... at least the 'fulltotal' feature should be added to del.icio.us itself At 15/09/2005 05:44 PM, you wrote: Hi there: today I closed populici.us due recent changes on del.icio.us.

Re: [delicious-discuss] delicious firefox poster gui question
This has nothing to do with del.icio.us; rather you should ask the people who wrote the extension (delicious.mozdev.org). But thanks for reminding me; I must contact them to say what horrible design there is to require manual HTTP-auth every time you start up Firefox! ___ discuss mailing list discuss@del.icio.us http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
