Common elements and behavior

INTERACTION_AND_GRAPHICS_DESIGN/Elements

Positive issues

  • Icons
    • Book opened (templates, flow represantation)
    • Book closed
  • Frame icons (flow, non-flow, etc)
  • Grey texts (for drag and drop)
  • Selected frames (dashed border) and frame move halo
  • Page selector
  • Tabs for different modes - frames, no frames and test

Features that need to be improved

  • Current flow represantation (page preview) supports only flows on nearby pages
  • Page preview should be page layout independent
  • All scrollbars should have or don't have arrows

Features that need to be changed

  • Consistant flaps, tabs and palettes - most of the book editing controls should be in palettes
    • List palettes - should be with icons of same size and text(and scrollbars). Can contain buttons
    • Meta palettes - contains text (and scrollbars). May also contain buttons
  • Current flow represantation (page preview) supports only flows on nearby pages
  • Page preview should be page layout independent
  • All scrollbars should have or don't have arrows

Missing features

  • Book window - Because Sophie 2 Author is a multi document enviroment, we need to be able to drag things from one book to another
  • Book desktop - live background that has page elements. It consists of one page only.
  • Opened books tabbar - should represent menu with buttons for each opened book and show Desktop icon
  • Timeline management and editing - probably palettes, but where to put them? On bottom flap is the solution of Sophie 1.
  • Halo grouping - how to group halos because now we do have a lot of halos
  • Palette grouping - in which flap to put which palette? The Reader app should have some controls and should be with one or two flaps (left and bottom)
  • Menus - if there is really simple alternative that covers all of the functionality, we probably may leave the menus, but for now they are needed
  • Tooltips - almost each element will have one
