I am so damn picky about GUIs
Sep. 11th, 2007 08:52 pmI should change jobs and go into GUI criticism. Can one make a living at that?
Look at this GUI:
In the "Backup Totals" box, the items in the "Current" column keep changing as the backup proceeds. Can you see what's wrong with that???
Of course not. Only a picky person can.
Because the "File Total" is on the same horizontal line as the "Final" amount, they are difficult to compare (especially since they have no commas). If they transpose the cells of that table watching the backup process would be a lot easier since the digits would line up vertically.
I know that's insane, but this is the kind of thing I think about.
