Hi, I'm a big fan of various UI concepts that have made their way into portable devices like the Newton and iPhone over the years. I've been working to create...
It crashes very very frequently(like within 20 seconds of me starting it) with a "supertalk" error saying I'm executing a function it's never heard of. But why...
... Just from looking at the screen shots, I'd suggest you check out the Human Interface Guidelines section on recommended margins and metrics. Your dialog...

Hi, ... Yep, last minute replacement gone bad. I should have that fixed today. ... Because most of the UI decisions in it don't make sense if it's a window'd...
... I'm not sure which screenshots you're referring to, but the 'search' dialog uses the standard SC requester, and I'm okay with that one. Come to think of...
Hello everyone, I'm writing an application that will have many plugins, displayed in a table on the left, and each plugin will have a set of users, displayed ...
... Okay, I'll pester Mark about it, if it's standard SuperCard. ... "ask", I supposed? ... Nope, it looked more like an "ask" window. Cheers, -- M. Uli...
How frequently does the user need to access those users? Because unless he needs fast access to them, giving that table permanent fixture in the window isn't a...
Fjlnir, Good question I don't really know I can't see why a user would have more than one account for each service (How many del.icio.us accounts do...
Sounds exciting... I miss Watson so much! You have several options here, and as Fjlnir said, it basically comes down to the frequency with which the user...

... Yes... and this saddens me because drawers were a great idea. They just needed little "handles" (probably an attached tab of some sort) to let the user...

... Not to mention the security implications of showing a password in the main window. While I may want an acquaintance to see that blog posting I'm currently...
... Well, considering how many apps had drawers on three sides of the window, giving them huge ears *and* a hanging tongue, and dumped every control in there...
... If you have access to the WWDC session videos, there's at least two sessions where John Geleynse talks about usability, and how to lay out a GUI. One of...
... One option would be to have the user list as a separate, hideable list under the main source list similar to the cover art pane in iTunes, or the...
Thanks everyone! I think I have a couple choices: 1) Put a borderless pop-up menu with the users in it to the right of every plugin table item. 2) Put a...
... Why not at the top of the content area (the window's right)? Then the order makes sense, too, as read from top left to bottom right: First select the...
The way that QuickTime Player windows resize has always bothered me. But it's not the resizing part (fixed aspect ratio), it's the relationship between the...
... I feel that your "New Window" method feels more intuitively correct when resizing horizontally and vertically. This might be besides the point, but your...
... While I understand the logic of your change, I prefer the old way. I dont really have a way to estimate how much of that is familiarity, though When...
... At first I liked "old" better - probably because I'd gotten used to it in QuickTime - but after some playing around the "new" behavior is more logical....
... Thanks for catching this. Good to know. (But is it a bug?) You can also get this problem with the old window. Drag it till it touches the bottom of the ...
... You're probably keeping the cursor near the corner of the window. Try moving it up to the right at a 45 degree angle. On the old window it won't resize; ...

Hi George, I never realized how much the fixed aspect ratio resizing was broken until now. You definitely have my vote on the new approach. I think it's a...
... I can't see how to reproduce this issue with the old style. How would I, anyway? The old style always takes the minimal dimension of the "invisible" rect...
