Current Issues (Lightning 0.3)
The table below lists users feedback regarding the usability of the main Lightning UI.
Issues:
- The calendar below the email accounts is disturbing and to big if you also use the "contact sidebar" extension.
- After starting Thunderbird I don't know in which calendar I'm working in.
- I can't drag an event from one calendar into another.
- All the different colors in the week view are confusing me. Especially same things are highlighted differentially.
- I want to switch between E-Mail and Calendar easily.
- Why am I seeing the mail tree when I'm working in the Calendar?
- I don't want to see Saturday and Sunday. I use my calendar only for my work.
- The left side looks very cluttered.
- How can I switch into a different view?
- I have 3 calendars. One for work, the other are subscribed ones. Which means that I don't have write access on these. I don't know how many times I tried accidentally to create an event in one of the read only calendars.
