Theme selection doesn't affect Fonts, Desktop and Options, right? There should be some seperation between Themes and Appearance, then. If the user selects a theme and then alters an appearance option, we basically have a new theme, right? I mean, there should appear an entry in the theme list. Themes and Appearance could be combined into one tab to not change options hidden on another tab. If Colours can't be changed with a controls theme, the colour widgets don't need to appear at all and can be replaced with the info text to save some space. If the colour widgets stay, they need to be shown disabled. Regarding undo, I wonder if it's worth the trouble given that pretty much any change can be changed back easily. There could be Undo/Redo buttons on the bottom, outside the tabs. Now if we want to show what will be undone or redone, that could happen in tooltips (discoverability problem), in a statusbar or in a log. With a log it could be like: Enabled "Show icons in menus" [Undo] That is, an undo button after the text item, which will change into Redo, with the item shown in gray, perhaps. Hmm, that's likely overkill here, but maybe there's a use for the log concept elsewhere :) -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Design for Free Software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
