| Summary | 0017734: User interface adjustments for users that prefer labels to icons | ||||
| Description | 1.7.2 is very sleek and does a great job minimizing screen space; it also has some great new features. But the amount of unlabeled options (even with "show informational labels" turned on) and the heavy reliance on icons is the main thing holding me back from switching to it full time. I am personally very bad at memorizing/interpreting what icons mean and very good at reading text quickly; a label that says "top" is much more intuitive to me than a little box with a red line at the top, etcetera. This is probably compounded by the fact that i do most of my work on a small laptop screen. More icons and less text is clearly the way software user interface trends are going, but I would love an option for fewer icons/more text version of the user interface for beginners and the icon-challenged. Since a wholesale alternate user interface is unlikely, an option with a larger number of informational labels that you could toggle on would help, especially in the text palette. The ability to toggle off icons in the tabs for docked palettes would also be great - they're not useful to me and they reduce the space available for the text labels. | ||||
