ANd not to mention Fitt's Law.
- hgsgm 4y agoFitt's law was for mouse (not trackpad) and for small screens where the menu was near the window. Both of these are for less common now. Also now we have Search function within menus. Nowadays it's easier to navigate menus with keyboard than pointing device.
- BuckyBeaver 4y agoHahahah, there it is, the once-inevitable "Fitt's law" trope. People citing 'Fitt's law" to defend this dumb menu design love to ignore the big D in that "law." And what does the D stand for? DISTANCE. Fitt's law dictates that the menu should be on the application's main frame, because that's closer to where the user is working (thus minimizing D). That's more true today than ever, as screen sizes and resolutions have reached new heights.
- pantulis 4y agoIt's the ratio of the distance and the size what matters, not the distance itself. In this sense the menubar has infinite size because you cannot move the pointer forward it, thus you cannot miss it.
