It's my first time starting a discussion thread. I hope I get this right. I was visiting Adobe's website just now, checking out the newly released Creative Suite 4 offerings. On hovered over one of the Creative Suite names - http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite - displaying the full list of packages and the applications that they included. There are many Adobe applications that belong to more than one Creative Suite, such as Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator.
When you hover over the name of one of these overlapping products, every instance of that product's name is highlighted. In other words, hovering over Photoshop under Design Premium also highlights Photoshop under Web Premium, Production Premium, and Master Collection. I was pleasantly surprised by the behavior. I think tt's another great example of putting in a little (hopefully!) extra time and care into a feature that's non-invasive if you don't need it, but seemingly obvious and brilliant if you do. I'm not sure if that came across well. In other words, I like it. I think it's beautiful. I'm willing to bet that this functionality/link treatment isn't new. I also don't remember what Adobe's CS product listing technique was prior to this version. For all I know it could've been the same. It's new to me. What are your thoughts on that link highlighting treatment? What are some other examples of interesting functionality that doesn't really get in the way if you don't need it, but really helps if you do? - Scott ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
