I thought that a good start menu could be judged by such criterion as below:
1. how many clicks your mouse need to perform before you can find a right item to act on. 2. how long a path your mouse have to move before you can find a right item to act on. I thought we could design a better start menu than the current gnome menus. The Start Menu of windows could be a example to learn. 2008/10/22, Dylan McCall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Wed, 2008-10-22 at 10:36 +0800, Long Gao wrote: > > The original Gnome start menu have three menu items, and I always > > found myself puzzled of thinking which menu to click when I want to do > > something.
