- mkelly 16y agoUI is always a mix of usability and discoverability, I think. The color wheel is perfectly usable, but little changes might affect discoverability. That said, I think far too many UIs (window managers, etc) confuse the two. I'm only a newbie at a system _once_. If it takes a little longer to learn, then it's totally worth some initial confusion.
- thwarted 16y agoIf it takes a little longer to learn, then it's totally worth some initial confusion. I'd hope that if it takes longer to learn because of initial confusion, that it's worth it because it's better than something that took less time to learn or that didn't have initial confusion. I'm not so sure I'd want to bear the cost of initial confusion just for the "benefit" of it taking longer to learn.
- mkelly 16y agoMeh, that's what I get for switching up my sentence in the middle. :) You're right -- should be: if it's better in the long run, it's totally worth the initial confusion.
- d0m 16y agoTalking about the colors, when I draw text, then click on the wheel to change the color, it doesn't work. I need to change the font(?) then, it refreshes itself. Amazing app, I like that.
- whimsy 16y agoI get the same bug. Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US) Firefox/3.6.3
- vog 16y agoThis is a great improvement to the color wheel! I'd love to see it implemented in Gimp and Inkscape as well.
