Roedd <<UserFormGallery wedi ysgrifennu:
Hi all, Thought you might be interested in a new site I have just launched, devoted to showcasing the best in Userform design. Check it out he http://www.userformgallery.com Cheers, Scott. With respect Scott, the first thing I read on your site was you advocating that we bin default grey forms for your choice of what looks pretty. Two problems with this. Firstly your resulting multicoloured form looks great to you but awful to me. Secondly, there's nothing I can do about it. At least I can change the default gray of 3D objects using Windows control panel if I want to, with your choice of colours, I'm stuck with them. First rule of UI design - don't screw around with the user's preferences, they will hate you for it. In addition, I notice that you have gone for bold capitalised labels. Why? This breaks all windows conventions for no reason at all. Finally, I notice that you've left the OK (why webbify it to SUBMIT?) and Cancel buttons in pretty much the same place. The /very first/ thing I would have done would be to have moved them to where Excel's UI designers conventionally put them - /either/ one above the other at the top right /or/ one beside the other at the bottom right. You are dead right that a lot of (most?) Office developers build ugly and user-hostile forms, but I absolutely disagree with many of the points raised on your site so far. Nevertheless, I'll be interested to see how it develops. Rob |
