Well, the layout likely doesn't affect the frequency.... or, well, perhaps a little; I'm guessing an eye pleasing UI encourages trying out stuff. But IMO the main benefit is the wow-factor. Surely a nice visual UI is much cooler than a text based such ;-) Messy as it can get, the Control Panel is increasingly used for adding a > tab for different plugin config options.

But maybe we could design something that completely covers everything in the standard Control panel. That doesn't prevent additional "addings of tabs" though. But if we get it going, then there might just be a little toolbox of visual pieces (e.g a simplified "tiddler", a mock-up "row of tabs" etc) that plugin designers can pick from when designing his config options. Regarding confusion - I think an interactive visual display would be superior to *minimizing* confusion. And what would be the overhead of your idea? > Depends but not as much as it may seem like; Most of what is shown is in the demo is just html+ CSS. And most of the CSS is already in the empty TW. Also, implementing this would also mean *removal* of some of the current stuff. <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
