It's easy to explain and has an internal consistency. You don't mean desktop, you mean root window. Yes, but on a NeXT, one could keep track of more than I prefer the NeXT's consistency. Consistency? Consistency is more important than correctness? DriveLight doesn't ship with the MacOS; therefore it doesn't

there should be UI consistency when choosing a color with a combo-box for shapes or choosing a color for fonts/background with color-picker dialog. personally, i like the font's color picker dialog. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-686 Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstable

Because expanded list are a new window, they cannot guess what your UI scheme is and generate consistency with your application, if you need consistency, think about coding your own lists. Bullsh*t! everytime you land on a new page, the soft-keys are mapped on different functions and the menu changes.

Sometimes, when I run Windows...
I noticed this because that menu felt less aesthetically pleasing than the conflict resolution UI, which does have balanced parens. Better yet, it feeds our collective neurosis. The attached patch (includes log message in the patch file) fixes that so that the parentheses are balanced, just like in the conflict

I've written up some notes on different types of UI consistency: <http://critique. net.nz/project/mozilla/basics/principles/consistency/>. Feel free to vehemently disagree with them. On the contrary =) I agree with most of what you say, esp. about internal consistency. It's a statement worth repeating here: "An

Now I have witnessed the erosion of UI consistency on Mac OS and even on windows (both UI's haven't stood fast to their own principles b/c developers decided to implement different I personally don't have an answer of a method that both gives individual freedom leading to the eventual erosion of UI consistency.

To have UI consistency? Did you know @that the UI guidelines suggest being able to delete elements of a document @within an app to the trash? Do you think I care about the guidelines? As a long-time mac user I'm quite used to having the trash in the bottom-right. And I figure that since I supported Apple back when

It's UI consistency, not visual one, that matters here. They both matter, but sometimes you can't do anything about them and still have common source on multiple platforms. I'll accept - in the first instance, at least - a little inconsistency rather than have a non-portable app. If inconsistency turns out to be a

sigh.. UI Consistency, please.
Choosing Finale as an example of user interface is a really bad idea, as it is one of the worst programs in terms of UI consistency that there has ever been, precisely because it began life as a Mac program and has only in the last 4 years been driven more by Windows and Microsoft standards than by Mac standards.

Chuq Von Rospach c...@plaid.Sun.COM comp sys mac Also look at Interleaf on the Mac. Their is no enforced standard. There has never been any enforced standard. Apple does not revoke a company's certified developer status if their application doesn't follow the guidelines. It all depends on what you mean by enforced.

Consistency (was: Re: UI Forking: Towards Resolution...)
I agree that UI consistency is quite important. But when dropping X together with its toolkits, the lack of available software for GNUStep might become a problem. Therefore, I am wondering whether it was feasible (in the long term) to have *client*-side emulation libraries which offer the API of more "standard"
