Agreed -- that's a terrible heuristic. And happy/sad face is a terrible "UI". The computer is not happy or sad; it's _working_. Honestly, there is a base problem here: "simplifying" things to a happy/sad does not lead anywhere useful. The metaphor is completely mismatched -- "full use" of the laptop resources is not a bad thing in any sense and should not lead to a sad face. Empty/full metaphors may work better. However, I think this change is not leading towards a useful outcome -- at best it gives the user a complex-to-interpret input, and no clear action to take. The actual *useful* change is to automatically close activities that are backgrounded. cheers, m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
