All of the things that he's complaining about are changeable in settings. And not even buried three levels deep -- they're right on the first settings page!
1. Pick a different theme. I have one with a blue background, not the default light/white one.
2. Go into the general settings, and change your star to a different colour, ie. enable the red, or blue one, or the green checkbox. Now they stand out.
3. Go into the general settings. Change the 'Button Labels' radio from 'Icons' to 'Text'.
If you're going to bag someone's interface, you should at least spend some time figuring out how you can change it...
- mthreat 15y agoThanks, changing the labels to text is a big help. I didn't even notice it there in General settings. It still doesn't change the tiny "..." link to a text label (the thing you click on in a message to show previous messages in the conversation). See my other comment here about Fitts' Law.
- thezilch 15y agoWhile the button is tiny, is it really highly utilized, with the entire conversation being in the threaded view?
- mthreat 15y agoI use it all the time. I've found that clicking on the previous messages in the conversation view is much slower (requires hitting their servers, which are usually slow). But clicking on the "..." must not require a server hit, because it's instant.
- anthonyb 15y agoI don't find it that slow - but you can hit 'expand all' in the top right (next to the printer icon) to download the whole thread at once.
