I find context is important in their impact tho... for example, one of the "small and silly things" I really like about my onTap framework tools is the way it builds checkboxes and radio buttons in forms... Ever notice how in a desktop application, when there's text next to one of those controls, the text is usually clickable to select or deselect the input? I did the same thing with the framework's radio buttons and checkboxes, so you can click anywhere on the label... This is a common practice of desktop application usability that's just been dropped completely from web-apps and likely contributes subliminally to people's feeling that web-apps are "clunky"... Though it seems I'm the only person who cares. :P But you're right, people are often impressed by simple things. > --Ferg > .. > S.
