First of all, it's really great to be able to test UI mockups like this! And I think they all improve on the current Trail Greeter. Regarding the comparison with GNOME System Settings, I feel that the idea of Tails Greeter is to offer a nice way of navigating between possible options, changing none or many of them, and then log in. On the other hand, GNOME System Settings is more focus towards helping you to find the particular setting that you want to modify and then be done with it. I felt this idea of moving back and forth between possible options work better in version 3, where the set of possible options always stays visible and the settings for a particular option appears in another pane. Otherwise, if the possible options disappear when you select one, you might think that you are in a sequence of windows, like in the current Greeter. But I also like better the horizontal listing of the options from all the versions. I see we can fit nicely two rows of 6 options, but I fear that wouldn't work with the more vertical setup. Regarding the language and persistence options. I also prefer version 3: I think it's enough to have the language option that can be expanded in the side pane just as the other ones, as long as it is the one shown be default when opening on Tails Greeter. But then I would separate it from the “Persistence” which would be another option, say the second one in the list. I would group Language with Keyboard and have “Language Keyboard” that would show widgets to choose the language, the region and the keyboard. If the keyboard widget is smart and adapts to what's in the language and region options, then that's perfect. To sum up, I would go for version 3 but with an horizontal layout and separate “Language Keyboard” and “Persistence” options.

hi, a...@boum.org wrote (04 Oct 2012 19:21:57 GMT) : Well no answer so far... but I took some time to play on this, and have some mockups to propose. Please test! I'd like to hear about: - your overall impression? I like it. - should keyboard selectable independently from locale in one click? If the keyboard auto-selection in function of the chosen locale was working well, then I would answer not necessarily. But in the current state of Tails Greeter: keyboard layout is imperfectly (if at all) selected in function of the chosen locale (at least, selecting French language + Swiss locale = French keyboard layout), so someone wanting French language + Swiss keyboard (they do exist, don't they?) + persistence would have to go back and forth (e.g. in v3, select language and region, then move to the keyboard layout options, then come back to persistence UI). - your navigation experience? I like the two-steps language - region selection UI. About v1 - v3: if we some day have some Tails Greeter settings stored in the encrypted persistent volume, then in these mockups it's unclear when the persistent volume would actually be unlocked, and persistent settings applied. v4 and v5 look very much clearer on this front. I don't like the persistence UI being hidden in v4. I prefer the way it is in v5. - where should the locales box be? I dislike the one on the left (v2). In the current state of Tails, I prefer the mockups where one can choose their preferred language on top. However, once we get this persistent (by moving the main place where we intend this choice to be done to Tails USB installer), then this should probably be changed so that this option stands out less. Also: In the options that are presented as a list or toggle button (e.g. keyboard selection, Windows Camouflage), what if a single-click (or state change) on the main widget was enough to change the state and go back to the main menu? This might feel a bit odd compared to how the rest of the desktop works, but it would be a time-saver. I'm unsure. About v3: how does the main menu on the left fit with RTL speakers? Would the menu have to switch to the right once a RTL language is selected? That's all for now.

[Tails-dev] Tails-greeter UI redesign
Hi everybody, As you have probably experienced, tails-greeter UI is far from ergonomic. Thus, some of use discussed plans to improve the situations[1]. These plans include asking for your input on UI design proposals. We will then propose 1 or 2 implementations, get them tested and see what happens. So it's time for those who care to send what you find relevant, be it suggestions about something not to forget about, proposals or user experience workflow, UI mockups or anything else. Please keep in mind that: - we want something simple enough for the 1st time user but practical for all Tails users; - we will get more advanced options in the future. The ones who draft new t-g UI may want to have a look at gnome's studies on the subject[2]. By the way, we are likely to issue another call for help to test these UI prototypes when they are ready.
