Re: [opensuse] Next Shot for a Redesign of YaST Control Center
Martin Schmidkunz wrote: Please find another suggestion for a radical and innovative redesign on: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/New_Control_Center#Tagcloudish The main thought beyond that idea is to increase the size of the modules when the user has used it. Similar to tag clouds, modules that are used often become bigger and therefore * easier to detect * easier to open because the size the user needs to hit with his mouse was increased. The different size would also serve as a kind of Recently Used reminder. I'm not really convinced about the appearance: it looks a bit cluttered with the small and big icons and small and big text. Personal impression, of course. I would give, e.g. the hardware section a structure with a few often used icons on the left and a more button to the right which allows to make more hardware visiable and activate/promote more hardware to appear on the left as a icon. And the user should be also able to hide unused icons/hardware behind the more button. Rearranging the icons by the user would be nice too.

[opensuse] Dictd again / Redesign of Yast Control Center
Hi all, Hope someone of SuSE is reading this as well ... Recently I posted a thread about a dying dictd. Cristian Rodriguez of SuSE checked this and replied with http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-11/msg01190.html stating clearly that the package is really broken. And sent a CC to somebody of suse.cz. This was almost 2 weeks ago. Is there any schedule to fix this obviously broken package ? Or am I too impatient ... ? This reminds me of the other thread asking for ideas about new Yast functionality: - known broken packages should be marked clearly in the repository so that everybody is alerted. - there should be an easy to handle interface to the SuSE bug tracking system, where admins (and users ?) can input and track quickly bugs and problems. Installed package version, architecture, etc. are already known and doesn't need to be typed in again: select a package, right mouse button - Report a bug, a window pops up, input, Finish. That's it. Authorization should be done only once in Yast2. Well, just an idea ... Kind regards, Stephan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The same is valid for the mouse.
