Personally, I hate it when applications seemingly randomly alter the interface. It breaks my memory of where things are; I have to stop and stare at things to figure out what happened and where that icon went.
It is like having a "helper" who hides your tools.
- kzrdude 7y agoMost annoying is when it happens immediately. The natural example in this context is of course the moving status items, in Windows 10, which might move just after you use them once or even on hover. But even any list which is sorted by a volatile criteria works like this. Like the most recently used bookmarks. Maybe you want to open item 1 & 2, so you click item 2 first and then go for clicking item 1, only they have now already traded places because of the first click...
- stinos 7y agoYeah on second thought, I think I might be looking at this too much from my own perspective. I almost solely use the keyboard to command applications so whatever solution I come up with for others who click icons might not be ideal. Still, I wonder: do you really know the meaning and place of all icons in applications you use frequently?
