Last Wednesday 25 August 2004 23:30, Lee Revell was like:
HIGs are not
about restricting the range of functionality you can implement, they are
just there to prevent needless usability regressions (aka usability
bugs).
Yes. Start with the general agreements and often reported Bugs & requested
features. Passive display widgets generally aren't _so_ much of an issue as
controllers. It's a very hard thing to argue in the abstract. Until you've
tried using something and found it irksome, it's not really an issue, from a
user perspective. Obviously it's worth trying to think ahead, but it's also
worth avoiding ko-fights over imaginary behaviours.
It is rewarding to know these issues are being taken seriously tho'
