<br>Hum<br><br>Sorry, but with all the respect and the love that i have for KDE and the people behind this great Desktop, i have to be honnest with this and to said that kickoff is at <u>my</u> user point of view the least usable things than i have ever seen in user interface...<br>
<br>When a new user want to discover apps installed on the computer he have to do a looooot of click and mouse move, not sure than this is compatible with any usability principle...<br><br>Same problem when a user want to reach an apps in the applications stuff<br>
<ul><li>3 clicks and one mouse move in the better case</li><li>3 clicks ans some nasty/horrible mouse clicking/movement with the scrollbar if the apps is at the bottom of one sub-menu</li><li>5 clicks etc if the user select the wrong sub-menu...<br>
</li></ul><div class="gmail_quote"><br>For me the applications part of kickoff is just *totally not* usable and is not at the level of quality than the rest of kde 4.<br><br>Cheers<br><br> <br>2008/7/11 J.R. Mauro <<a href="mailto:jrm8005@gmail.com">jrm8005@gmail.com</a>>: <br>

Windows are annoying and easily lost, and big things like tasty menu are just too cluttered and clunky.<br>Kickoff is clean, and was the result of serious usability studies IIRC.<br>
<br>In short, the real issue is "being psychic." I know raptor is going to try to do this, and I hope the facilities in raptor<br>will come into Kickoff's code. I think the default tab showing what you want and use, and a better, annotated search<br>
bar where both give you your commonly used items higher priority is the key to a better Kmenu.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
