My eyes naturally rest on whichever button has the bold-face font in it, or the thick outline around it, or the pulsing blink effect in it. I don't care where it's located.
My biggest peeve is dialog boxes that don't even have a default button. I get to use several of those at work every day.
The sad fact is that most programmers spend most of their professional lives writing back-end code, not UIs. Making UI Design a required course for a programming degree is as dumb as making calculus a required course, IMO.
I reorganized all my files with this new organizational concept.
Personally, shallow file hierarchies make it much harder for me to find my files.
I have seen many people comment about how they've reorganized their files to work with spatial Nautilus, but they never really explain what they did. I'd be interested in seeing a before-and-after look at their directory structures.
Everybody here loves the GPL except when Trolltech uses it. Then they whine about wanting Qt to be LGPL, even though Stallman himself is telling people to stop using the LGPL on powerful libraries.
But those Unix apps don't look or behave like apps written for Aqua. They don't use Aqua-like widgets, and they definitely don't follow the MacOS X interface guidelines.
They'll probably change the default to Plastik when 4.0 comes out, unless some other theme supersedes it in popularity with the "I Prefer My Themes Flat and Lifeless" crowd before that.
Meanwhile, I'll still be switching to Keramik window decorations, Liquid widgets, and Crystal icons. I need some color in my life after staring at Window 2000 all day at work.

I never notice the ads, so, yeah, it's free content.
I suppose it's a matter of how easily distracted you are.
Bwah-ha-hahaha! There are many words I could use to describe Miguel and Havoc, but "quiet" isn't one of them.
"Getting" a family is what ruined evenings for me. And weekends, and mornings, and nighttimes....
Sometimes I'm glad to escape to the office, and I don't even like my job.
Wow.
Wait, Voyager took pictures of the Death Star? Was this some Star Trek/Star Wars crossover I missed?
Well, don't keep us in suspense. Tell us which is which!
I thought it broke 7 billion recently.

I dunno. If you have to take a college course to see why a UI's design choices make sense...that just seems wrong, somehow.

That's the way Sun wanted it.
What? What kind of nerd are you?
You forgot "handi-capable".
I doubt I'd notice, what with being a fucktard and all.
If this is the sort of illogical crap that usability "experts" believe, it's no wonder developers tend to ignore them.
More the "industrial" part than the "military" part, I believe.
Yeah, it should be "LisP"!
Bleah! I don't want anything launching just because I hovered over it for a millisecond too long. Tooltips are annoying enough in that regard.
Amen! Keramik rules! Especially with the animated progress bar patch.

I like having a seperate Programs menu and a seperate Actions menu.
I like having everything in one place. So, now what?
Fine, as long as it can be put back. That's how I always end a session.
