- gambler 15y agoIf you're interested in PC interfaces, computer games can be pretty inspiring because of their UI diversity. Some have really good ideas, others have obvious issues one can learn from. It's difficult to discuss things like this without more context. Hm... Draggable checkboxes. Let's say you have several checkboxes arranged in one column. The user points cursor at the first one, presses left mouse button and then drags the cursor across other checkboxes. When the pointer crosses a checkbox, the latter acquires the same state as the first checkbox clicked. The benefits over the typical solution (extra 'select them all' box) is that the user can skip one or several options by swaying the pointer, while maintaining the ability to easily select multiple things in a row.
