[snip] Well, toggle buttons that act like radio buttons is confusing. But given that the Fremantle UI guidelines force us to have them, surely the very existence of any real radio buttons will confuse the user, making them even less likely to understand that these non-radio-radio-buttons actually act like radio buttons. So I still feel that you should just change the appearance of radio buttons and thus make both the UI and API simpler. Of course, I know it's too late to change any of this now, so I'm just complaining. These kinds of mistakes are always made when development is allowed to be done in isolation for a while, just as the initial Maemo API had many obvious mistakes. -- [email protected] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
