User interfaces and accessibility are some of the most important aspects of an application. You can one million features, you can many things in the place, but if you do not see very well be a disaster. Take for example Linux. This open source (free) the system for a while 'time and was greatly appreciated for its stability and speed. But in his vorigetejour is that it lacks a user interface that makes it a veryantrekkelijk for the general public. If a few years ago, was used by the Linux system and the sites of Microsoft Windows is already on the place, the interface be pumped, while many errors and is very unstable. Today things are very different. People have learned from their mistakes and now, most systems eUNZIONAMENTO including Linux, the graphical interface and utilisationpourD is easy to use - the things we do in the past quepodría schriftelijk lines and lines of the instructions can you do with a few clicks. This improvement has a whole new category of users, the popularity of this system is greatly increased.
Therefore, the user interface is very important for the reason utilisateur, and icons are one of the main issues in the field. Pourquoi But you do not use icons and text without formatting? Well, icons are visual mnemonics, which are easier toremember. We see a photo of a couple of times (maybe once) and "learning" and then connected to the image of a certain action. The same applies to the text, but is much faster to "read" a picture of what it means to read a text, icons, which makes it desirable. Moreover, the addition of icons to the important elements of their application based sometimes it is not necessary to frustrazieen of users who are familiar with the application and effort to findden to use a function. For example, an icon añadirción the Help button, is it easier for users to know where to find help.
OggiOggi, developers, users learn to use an application more quickly if the interface is similar to arrêtlicaciones know. Take a Mac: You can see how all applications are more or less gelijkli? Therefore it is very easy to use new applications and not for the lezen of the manual to see what each button, probably because their own country. But there are two parts to this: if all the applications look more or less equal, where is the originality? Also, if the application is complete only users in the month of May is difficult to know. So the best way to go is to use an interface which combines these two standards and not a "form" for the user interface, but not entirely unique. The easy to follow, but that is where the icons in the game
Iconosson the easiest way to get your application distinguerela, while a note of familiarity. Most developers have found very effective in operational remplacersystème their icons icons facts. How? Well, start with small things. Try adding shadows for icons, or even different effects (from socNatuurlijk, blur, add a border, etc.) with a graphical editor. Another method is to pictogram color. Make all blue, yellow or other colors that you would be fine with the rest of the interface. A toolbar with an improvement, but if bautomnes (for example, the replacement of the New, Open, Save, print, cut, copy, paste icons) actually improves the overall interface. After the replacement of the icons, it is much easier ago are the next step and begin to change colors.
But what to do with those obsolete, as users in a way that easy? Qu 'It is with people with special needs, you may have difficulty reading small text or seeing the colors. Moreover, the mu º are a way for all people - it is really a mystery here - they love the same icons and colors in all its applications. Fortunately, the answer is simple: the application of different skins! It is a good idea to have a "standard" skin for users who enjoy the simple diS that the fundamental characteristics of a very simple to use, then create a 'more of people like different fur different interfaces - large buttons with icons Application main features clear, or maybe a lot of tools with buttons for advanced users. Again, the easiest way to new skin is to change the icons and colors. It is not negEssar modifying the design of the application and move all the toolbars / toetsen / on windows, and sometimes a lot of work. However, the icons remplacementtion is very simple. Voila! Got a new skin!
Today, applications are increasingly focused on graphics, icons, and more importantly, while the integration is less popular. Modern application interfaces using icons and text, but a special attention icons. That makes molto easier for users to learn the application of sort donc perform their tasks snel. The intuitive interface and behavior do not require much explanation, and a well-designed application should not turn on the computer, but should provide a quick access to key functions. This is the general rule that a Microsopes millions and millions of dollars for its main product - the Windows operating system - so ierche not follow their example?
