Please comment on this. I was assited by 2 Gnome Usability guys for
this. About the contactlist-right-click menu I have to ask some more
advice fomr 'm. But we have to make sure what we want. When a user is
not online and we double-click, and we want it to open a SMS for mobile
users, we should have "send an SMS" as first item and have thus the
action on doubleclick and also the first group of actions in that menu
depend on this. If you gray out the first item and do it also for
others, it means you don't have any double-click action defined.
cool, but I still beleive the popup menu should be the same for every user
with items greyed out and "first non-greyed out action == double-click"
Under here the mainwin-proposal,
Karel.
These are not anymore in this menus-proposal:
[OFF] amsn versioncontrol -> in about window
This was removes because it's not very much used anyway and only
populates
screen real-estate. whe a user checks the version he/she has in the
about
window, he/she should be able to check for the latest release in there
too.
[OFF] minimise instead of close -> in preferences
This is something only set once. From usability point of view it's
even
wrong to minimise a window (to the tray) when the close button is used
as
this should do the same as the "close" entry in the main menu. Though,
this is an often requested feature, so it should be kept, and it's
place
is in the preferences window.
here's an example of a non respected thing from the guideline.. congrats
for your open mind ;) :p
[OFF] Change language -> in preferences
This is a preference mostly only set once and thus belongs in the
preferences screen.
[OFF] Change skin -> appearances in prefs
Idem dito.
all seem to be well justified, 100% agree

about aMSN
I 99% agree, you really did a great job on this! kudos
my few comments : why enable sound in account menu ? yes it is account
option, but I don't see it in there..
I would also think that an "Options" or "Tools" menu would be usefull
(enable sound in there as well as access to prefs window + any often
modified preferences)
Also, optional, but what do you think of (as a new feature) a "Windows"
menu ? with the list of all opened windows/contains.. might be usefull..
since it needs new code, maybe if it's accepted, do the design and keep it
in the wiki until we implement the code for it.
you also pointed out something interesting when talking about some stuff
that needs to be moved to prefs window.. how about a redesign of the prefs
window :p yes, it WILL be redesigned.. but in time only.. also, we'd need
someone to take it where Alvaro left on the new prefs window, I think he
has the API finished, but only needs to code the items to apepar in the
prefs window..
