I'm indifferent to it, and thought I'd probe your (and others') reasoning. My criterion is that it needs to be close to the title - visual clustering if you will.
But without a proper test, I don't think you or I will be able to judge which is "better".
- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoI've conducted tests on similar questions for my day job, and having the arrow consistently in a predictable position proved to be far superior. Sorry, I can't provide hard data as it's company confidential, but consistency of position has become one of the main design driving forces, so clear was the evidence. I would be interested in knowing why you claim to be indifferent to it. My tests showed people thought it didn't matter, but their actions were significantly more efficient. Some didn't believe the results, even when shown the measurements. Why do you think you are indifferent?
- SwellJoe 17y agoHabitual movement is known to result in greater precision and speed. This has been shown over and over in studies of athletes, musicians, dancers, video game players, etc. The computer usability field has known about predictability and consistency of interface for years (think about "ok/cancel" for a moment, and what happens when apps change it up on you). I'm surprised anyone would think there would be a question about it.
