Current Issues (Lightning 0.3)

The table below lists users feedback regarding the usability of the main Lightning UI.

Issues:

  1. The calendar below the email accounts is disturbing and to big if you also use the "contact sidebar" extension.
  2. After starting Thunderbird I don't know in which calendar I'm working in.
  3. I can't drag an event from one calendar into another.
  4. All the different colors in the week view are confusing me. Especially same things are highlighted differentially.
  5. I want to switch between E-Mail and Calendar easily.
  6. Why am I seeing the mail tree when I'm working in the Calendar?
  7. I don't want to see Saturday and Sunday. I use my calendar only for my work.
  8. The left side looks very cluttered.
  9. How can I switch into a different view?
  10. 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.

Rearranging of already existing UI elements.

At the moment, Lightning 0.3 combines very important information on the left hand side. From the users point of view it is

  • An E-Mail account,
  • A Calendar
  • An Agenda List
  • Todo
  • Calendars

Depending on the task user want to full
