Slider for GUI requests

Postby abel » Sat Nov 16, 2013 4:11 pm

In order to meet the requests about the GUI enrichment, i suggest using a simple slider with only 3 level (for ALL improvements), that will be better instead of adding new buttons everytime.

Based on information provided and memory used by the option, these will be placed under the 3 levels.
E.g.
Flag icons can be placed under Rich level , while region strings (ITA-ENG..) can be placed under Poor/Normal levels.
ProgressBar will be Flat/Simple (uTorrent style)/Mule style respectively under Poor/Normal/Rich levels.
And so on.

Default level, obviously, Normal.


So User button is used to show more or less features (to split users experience between Low/Medium/High)
The Graphics slider is used to show more or less "details" about showed features (to split hardware rendering capacity beetwen Poor/Medium/Rich ).

(Naturally, Simple ProgressBar/GUI Mode option will be replaced by this one).
(You can use a slider also for User, because until there are only 3/4 items slider feels good! ComboBox is for many items.)
(Note window title .... NeoLoader - Settings)

I dont like this idea its to ridgid.
how about a combo like in auto sort,
Off
On
Custom
->checkbox1
....
->checkboxN

the checkboxes are inside the combo.

this way normal users can select between 2 or 3 or 4 levels whatever, and advanced users can selectivly switch the gui features thay need
?

yes, rigidity is required if you want to "force" the user to use the software in the better manner.
The opposite of rigidity is NeoMule ... a button for everything.

For combo+checkboxes, sorry, but i haven't understood. Can you provide a complete design/picture?

IIUC, with Combo+CheckBoxes, if i'm a developer user & i have an old pc, how can i disable the flag icons and leave only the country string?

"Country Flags" or "Show Flags"
"Chunks Progressbar" or "Simple Progressbar (in that case is reversed)" or "Advanced Progressbar"
