v2.734: Feedback
Fixed 2.754
Missing Toggles
Missing Show macOS Touchbar, HideCS
I see that you're working on the hide/show trigger, as you've added the indicator. But it still isn't possible to hide/show triggers!
Groups:
hmmm the slide-in groups aren't really good... I got confused a bit till I realised I had to double click. I think the old splitting menu would be better if it was refined.
Colour Palette Cleanup
Orange, Navy, Cherry, Blue (or whatever system colour it is)
Grey and Vibrant, rounded and square
All these inconsistencies increase confusion. Try to harmonise each column a bit more. Having a pallete for each column (e.g. orange for the actions) as you have now is a good idea, as you can communicate that "Everything that is orange relates to Actions" (as seen in my mockup, you can see that in the action count - show/hide checkbox). Just refine the colours a bit more so that it's a bit more evident.
EDIT: Table View
Whoa this looks great!
Seems good so far. The only things I can say right now:
-
Improve the 'currently selected' highlight. Try a thick box with a margin like finder instead as the thin, white fill makes it a bit hard to see. Try a black outline too
-
Would be good if arrow keys Control the currently selected cell instead of the row, eliminating the need to click into them.
Groups:
Currently I think it's hard to see relationships between the views. It's hard to have a glance and know what controls what. I'm not sure if you're up to the 'refining' step as you might still be just trying to get all the functions in, but I recommend you take a step back and have a look at it's general flow.
Starting Window Size
Just a small one, but I think the rightmost column with all the settings should be a bit wider, and the window in general a bit taller.
Alternating Row Shading
yeeeaahh, it'll be good to have that.Refined Cell Icons / Organisation
Try not to clutter the title. It should be easily recognised. The icons could be more consistent and less contrasting too but that can come later.
I'm not sure about the icon placement in that mockup, i prefer the one in my full mockup above but i do agree with the removal of "Action: " and "and 1 more"
Do notice that the text is truncated if it flows over one line in my mockup. "Open Visual Stud... 1 more"
Add those triangles to allow people to know that "this panel controls that"
Don't confuse action configuration with trigger configuration.
It may be hard to implement, but those 'action modules' are much more understandable with more direct, connected options. Changing a whole column just for 'delay time' seems unnecessary. Doing it this way would also mean you don't need to click in and out between triggers and actions to modify them.
@GoldenChaos, your opinion too? you're a heavy user also.
@Andreas_Hegenberg I hope this feedback is useful to you! Sorry in advance if it felt ranty or demanding, my intentions here aren't to rant or demand but to help you refine the new UI for all to use
