Every clickable widget I see has a corresponding graphic! I doubt any users will be terribly confused by this. It is made especially obvious that they are clickable by the standard "this is a menu" arrow displayed in the corner of each. And they're not in the same format as the _main_ menu, but rather, more like the bookmark menu in Konqueror, which can exist at the same time as the main menu without any complaints. Take a look at the old layout, side by side with this new proposal. The new one I can figure out without any problems, but the old one really does take a few minutes to decipher. By all means, put this in 3.1, because if you look at the current system, it's a bloody mess. _______________________________________________ kde-usability mailing list kde-usability@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability
