| 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 confuses me. Especially same things are highlighted differentially.
| |
| # The three buttons (New../Edit../Delete) are somehow strange. I think these buttons are good for creating/changed/deleting events.
| |
| # 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.

| | |
| == Proposal ==
| |
| Most of the issues stated above can be fixed by focusing on the following areas:
| |
| | |
| === Rearranging already existing UI elements ===
| |
| | |
| At the moment, Lightning 0.3 combines very important information on the left hand side. From an users point of view these are:
| |
| | |
| * Access to the E-Mail account (Mail Account Tree),
| |
| * Calendar (Mini Moth), | |
| * Agenda List (Agenda Tab),
| |
| * Todo List (Todo Tab)and
| |
| * List of Calendars (Calendar Tab)
| |
| | |
| The problem with that solution is that 70% of the visual information is placed on 30% of the screen.
| |
| | |
| Depending on the task users want to fulfill, each element of the left hand pane has a different importance level.
| |
| | |
| For the tasks "Write or Read Mail" the order could be:
| |
| | |
| # Mail Account Tree
| |
| # Agenda
| |
| # Todo
| |
| # Mini Month
| |
| # Calendar
| |
| | |
| | |
| For the task "Create Event" the order could be as follows:
| |
| | |
| # Calendar
| |
| # Mini Month
| |
| # Agenda
| |
| # Todo
| |
| # Mail Account Tree
| |
| | |
| To reduce visual clutter I'd like to propose to split Mail, Calendar and Tasks into three separate modes.
| |
| * One view which focuses on mail
| |
| * One calendaring.
| |
| * One tasks
