=== Design Iterations === | |||
'''IDEA #1: Vertical Tabs ''' | |||
The main idea here is to have tabs located on the left hand side of the left pane. | |||
''''Pros:'''' | |||
* Tabs need not too much horizontal space. | |||
* Switching views would happen nearby the views | |||
''''Cons:'''' | |||
* Vertical Labels are hard to read. | |||
* More than 3 tabs would look to cluttered | |||
* An icon-only solution would be too small. | |||

'''IDEA #2: Horizontal Tabs ''' | |||
The tabs are now located on top of the left pane. | |||
''''Pros:'''' | |||
* Good readability | |||
* Switching views would happen nearby the views/context | |||
''''Cons:'''' | |||
* Labeled Tabs need much space | |||
* An icon-only solution would be appropriate. | |||
* Two sets of tabs. | |||
** One for switching between Calendar/Mail | |||
** One set for switching between Day/Week/Month | |||
