In Adobe apps, you often find all auxiliary windows appearing as floating windows - palettes, properties, layers etc.
In Microsoft apps, you often find the auxiliary windows docked to the sides of the main window with movable splitters between them. Which approach you like better and why? Do you think one can combine the both approaches? I am curious how it is usually implemented in Mac apps (I haven't got one yet)? I currently tend to think that the splitter approach works well when the two split views are equally important, and the floating palettes work better for not-so-important or temporarily used windows. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Floating-panels-vs.-resizable-splitter-tp17508616p17508616.html Sent from the ixda.org - discussion list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
