           Summary: Bad usability of the links in the bottom link bar

        AssignedTo: kde-doc-english kde org
        ReportedBy: joerg joerghoh de

The blue link bar (white font, blue background) on the bottom of every help page has 2 flaws:

a) "prev" (why don't you write it "previous") and "next" have 2 meanings. It can be the last/next page (like in a book), or it can be the last/next page in the history (if you use the help system as a hypertext system). Can you make this much clearer? Perhaps replace it by an icon?

b)Below the prev- and next-Link is the name of the previous/next page in the same color as the clickable link "prev" and "next", but the name isn't a link. The User gets confused. Plase change the color of that name.

A small third point: What does "home" mean? My home is my castle? Or the first page of the "book" aka the toplevel page of the help system? The user can mistake that "home" for the "Home" Icon of the desktop.)
