Flash or AJAX, I don't care what technology they use, as long as they make the web UI as responsive as Slimfx. OTOH, AJAX seems like very hard work. But with flash, we already have it. Its there before our eyes. And it already features drag & drop. But I wasn't aware that there could be compatibility issues with a flash-based skin. Does it mean that someone couldn't use it on a Nokia tablet? Maybe it couldn't be the default skin. > Web interfacing will continue to be useful and is continually advancing > around here without help from 'pros'.

They did a great job. But someone who studied in interface design could help pinpoint the UI flaws. I'm sure some UI "flaws" will be due to ideological differences, but there are also objective UI flaws. -- Nostromo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nostromo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6322 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33046 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
