Hi Wade, Just downloaded Finance-1.xo to give it a whirl on the XO (the screen shots make it look pretty interesting, and I wanted to see your help designs in action). Haven't used it much yet, but a few quick feedback items:
1) I was initially confused as the icon Finance-1 is using is for Colors-activity.svg :-) 2) Seems to be in $ (dollar currency) only, really will need some way of picking a currency (perhaps also a smart initial default based on country language setting). The other alternative could be to use a generic little symbolic money/currency icon that is non-locale specific, to keep your UI nice and simple, little pile of coins and/or notes perhaps like your intended activity icon design. 3) The View tab icons (Register, Budget, Chart) should be a radio button group so they indicate which view mode is currently set. 4) When in Budget view, setting a Period to something other than Month doesn't make sense. The budget graph scale changes, but not the values to match. Not sure if you should just make Budget view lock to Month only, or if it makes sense scaling values (i.e Month budget = $10, so a Year view would show budget at $120). 5) When entering items into the register, I was wanting to use tab to get to the different input fields (description -> amount -> category). Will add Finance to the list of activities I try to spend some testing time with – looks like it will be a great Activity addition. :-) --Gary _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
