KControl is organized by "subject" instead of "category".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The idea is that if the user wants to configure something, they should only
|
||
|
|
have to search for its location in the desktop. Previously, they had to
|
||
|
|
look for the category of the setting. It should be apparent that this
|
||
|
|
isn't very efficient, as the category might be difficult to identify
|
||
|
|
frequently.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, we need to consider that each applet in kcontrol is very busy with
|
||
|
|
many tabs, and many groups in each tab: this means that our users (and
|
||
|
|
ourselves!) have to hunt around in several modules until the right
|
||
|
|
module is found -- and this is in no way easy, seeing that you have to
|
||
|
|
look at all the tabs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, this new organization tries to limit the amount of tabs per module,
|
||
|
|
and in addition, groups the module by application, rather than topic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And as an added bonus, it eliminates the Look & Feel group.
