HIG-compliant [1]?? i have no idea what that is.
The [1] is a footnote reference. The footnote I provided points to:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/
I advise you read this document if you'd like to provide useful
interface mockups for GNOME as it's the guidelines that all GNOME apps
are supposed to adhere to.
furthermore i`m not actually trying to improve issues.. i`m just trying
to improve the usabillity of those user images and user information and
i don`t see any reason why you should have 2!! images for one user..
So you are trying to solve a problem whereby there are two images for
one user? Can you elaborate?
becuase that`s how it`s currently done. in this screenshot:
http://img471.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2jg7.png you see the
windows:
- Login Photo Preferences
Where does the logo photo preferences window come from?
Using FC 6 at least I don't see that Window. Using Fedora Core 6, I
click on the little icon next to the 'Fedora Live CD' text in the 'About
Fedora Live CD' window, select a graphic, and it appears in the little
icon. When I log out of Fedora, and if I use a face browser GDM theme,
then I see that same photo next to my name. There is no 'Login Photo
Preferences' window that I am familiar with? How did you get to that window?
For example, because the form fields in your mockup don't have labels
with shortcut keys. Will a visually-impaired user be able to target
specific form fields without label shortcut keys?
well.. that`s for the coding (which i can`t do) people to make. i think
those shortcut keys can just be addressed in the code.. for example:
CTRL+U = Username field
Do you see how in the current screen, the shortcuts are underlined? How
would a user know to hit Ctrl + U? Also, is the Ctrl + U key combination
bound to some other function? (probably)
Also, how does changing these text fields to a non-standard format
address the issue you're focused on - the two user icon window issue?
What are you trying to solve with these changes? Do you understand the
potential problems they might cause?
