The lack of a simple "x" to close open floaters is huge problem. Forcing people to close things by dock, minimize, means adding a very disruptive click, move mouse, click again work flow to the simple task of making something go away. The inverse is also true. It really ought to be possible to get a floater up without having to take it off the sidebar again and again. Roughly speaking, if you're doing a system with window floaters, you ought to match the last 20 years of learned practice. People expect familiar user interface elements to behave in familiar ways. When you give them odd variants on expected patterns which don't stem from a very clear and obviously better user workflow, you create a dissonant experience. Lastly, any user workflow which requires mouse clocks and mouse motions, prevents accessibility and requires people to switch input modes. Again, 20 years of user interface evolution should be paid some heed. ~ Zha _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
