Hello, I just want to clarify what "old" means, related to a software/application GUI (in my opinion)
Like explained earlier, some years ago (not so far away from today) users had to adapt theirs habits to an UI. the advent of mobile technology has changed the way GUIs are thoughts the reason why is screen size. There a science for that which is called Computer-Human Interaction(1) and deal with cognitives effects of spatial interaction (among other things) It is not a "new" science of course but since the last 5 years GUI developers try to deal with it. Old does not mean "ugly" or "bad". Old means not handling cognitive effects in this particulary case. Aesthetic criterias are subjectives. Such criterias can't be think alone. Something that have a good design is something that consider fonction(s), economic, social, cognitive dimensions...(2) in the most suitable way. And of course, this way is not a static way... it changes ! In french we say: "Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" Well, you are right, it is not meaningless, but [as you know] this advice is too often used as a "screen" by those who want to do nothing to improve a situation. I think that really motivated people, asking good questions and using good tools can perform great things... I am the kind of guy who want to improve situations... --- (1)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%E2%80%93computer_interaction (2)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design Le 21/12/2015 22:07, Ray_Net a écrit : > Paul Gheno wrote on 20/12/2015 08:56: >> The last but not the least : >> The interface looks pretty "old". >> >> > I just received a "new design" of another stuff. > The old look was on one page and very efficient. > The new look is on 3 pages with a lot of stupid gadgets .... letting the > whole stuff unusable ... or with great difficulties. > > In french we say: "Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good > _______________________________________________ > support-seamonkey mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
