HIG Questions Wiki Page

April 30th, 2008  | Categories: Design, General, KDE/Kubuntu

I have created a page for HIG Questions on TechBase to collect questions/requests for the KDE4 HIG and so I don’t lose any more good questions or requests for guideline. Any time you have a question about a guideline which does not exist or is missing information, please add it to the list and email the KDE-Usability Mailing List to discuss. A lot of content just doesn’t exist anywhere but in our (mine and Ellen’s) heads and bringing it up helps us identify what is important/useful/needed and needs to be documented first. We will have two interns during the OpenUsability Season of Usability and will be working in earnest on the HIG.

    Is there or will there be a suggested standard for behavior of icons in a taskbar when a user “left clicks”, “right clicks”, or double-clicks on the icon — whether these icons are in a “system tray” or other aspect of a taskbar?

    Thank you.

    I was looking at the Colour Blindness page in the wiki and I found it incomplete. I tried to create an account to post somecomment in the discussion page but impossible so I will explain it here.

    First, in this page, it is said that 5% of male population is colour blind. It is inexact. It is about 8% of the male population and 1% of female population. Yes, woman can be colour blind.

    Moreover, the colour association table is to simplist and readers will think we are E.T. viewing this :) You should probably had some links to some more serious website about colourblind with some photos.

    I had created a small tools to test if some choices between background colour and foreground colour feet well and it allow you to see what a clour blind will see (aproximatively as they are lot’s of differences between colour blind people). You can get it here : http://shift-working-area.infernal-quack.net/tools_lab/ And youhave lot’s of others programs like this for other OS too : http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200709/10_colour_contrast_checking_tools_to_improve_the_accessibility_of_your_design/
