0 Colin-uk Veteran Posted July 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 11, 2005 first one is nicer to look at, but the second one actually tells you what the buttons do, if you could put that into the first one, it would be good ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mshaw04 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I prefer the second one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GhostShell Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 The New Design looks pretty good but you can't really tell what those buttons do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Elagizy Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 I made tips when the mouse is over the button, is this ok ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Galley Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 The 2nd one; buttons with images can often be confusing because they aren't easily discernible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cwizman Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 You cannot expect general, non tech-savy people to intuitively know to check the tooltips. The normal user will just sit there confused and wonder what all the buttons will do. Even experienced computer users won't like your interface because they (at least I will) want to know for sure what a button will do and don't want to waste time always waiting for tooltips. In short, you should add little text fields with short descriptions below each button. This would allow for a user to grow accustomed to your new interface and eventually navigate by button-image only. Aside from the usability, your new interface is much more appealing than your old one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cchasem Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I like the second one. The old interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TwIzTiD_Juggalo Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 i like the 2nd one i don't care much for pictures as cwizman said, waiting for a tooltip to popup isn't all that good of an idea. i would have to agree that adding small text by the picture would be much better and i would like the new design better.

0 Elagizy Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 Thanks all, I will try to redesign the new interface with small text for each button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 trickytraka Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I like the first one ... with one condition... having though bubbles ... :) on top of each icon to explain what it is for .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SamIAm Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Why not make it customizable? Have the button text underneath each button to start and then allow the users to turn it off in preferences if they want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Daniel Tablas Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I like the new design, but the colours don't really match with eachother, but in overall it's ok ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
