Ribbon Development ("Why" Interface, parts 4 through 8)

In my first post in the p1uton series I left a link to, suddenly, my translations of the same articles. Therefore, I consider my translation work to be complete, below is the link to his blog (however, I could not resist a bit and in brackets I give my own translations of article titles). But first, I will give a little bit of what I didn’t find in runet even after a second search.

Pieces from Jensen Harris Presentation on Ribbon Design

User interface failure

We added a lot of new options ... ... but almost no one found out about it

The office seemed to be more and more complex ... ... and the situation got worse every year.

People wanted to work more efficiently ... ... but they assumed that nothing would ever change, that the office was already completed

A fish

(a lot of data about the use of the Office was collected here, I did not find good quality)



There is still a video .

Tape Design Principles (pay special attention)

• The person should focus on the content, not the interface. Help people work without interventions
• Reduce the number of options available at any given time.
• Increase efficiency
• Prefer consistency uniformity
• Give options a permanent place. Prefer a consistent interface to smart
• Rectilinear is better than smart

Any idea of ​​a change in the 2007 office was tested for compliance with these principles. Inconsistency with any of them meant rejecting the idea.

So, Ribbon Design, parts 4 to 8

Rescue rectangles (New rectangles rush to the rescue), part 4

The issue of scale (Making a decision), part 5

Reading thoughts (Analysis and thinking), part 6

Insert the leaders (Without aversion to the insert), part 7

Points on the graph (arrange everything in places), part 8



And a little more lovers of old interfaces, thanks to wersoo .

Not about Ribbon

I would really like to see alternative (menu with toolbars and Lenta) interface options for superfrequent programs. If you have something to see, read, or something came up - share.



I can mention Canon Cat on this score, but it didn’t work with graphics, so the text editor is good there, but not complete.
