– Help slideshow: illustrations showing the available actions. It’s an important drawback, but there is time to test a lot of solutions. If I write a single ‘x’, the system has to highlight the ‘cut’ option before any other options beginning with an ‘x’.ĭiscoverability remains a problem. Another thing this HUD needs to have is shortcut support. Imagine this menu powered by some kind of fuzzy search (think Wolfram Alpha, you can write anything but the machine understands you), and, suddenly, you can use this HUD in nearly any program, as long as you have a remote idea of what you want to do. I’m curious where they’re going to take this idea, but I’m happy they’re trying. They’re still working on the HUD, and Shuttleworth acknowledges the discoverability issue – they’re still working on a solution. Luckily for us, the HUD will supplement the traditional menu at first, but Shuttleworth does plan to abolish the menu altogether eventually In that sense, it’s the exact opposite of Microsoft’s ribbon. Only when you specifically know what command you want to invoke is the HUD useful otherwise, it offers no discoverability features. The big issue that I see, however, is that it doesn’t look like a replacement just yet. In all honesty, it’s actually quite brilliant, and I’d love to have it on my applications right now. As complicated as Shuttleworth’s long blog post makes it out to be, it’s just a search field which only searches within menu items of one application. They have downsides, too, though it’s hard to find something within menus and nested menus have a tendency to close accidentally. Menus are awesome in that they’re generally in the same place, there’s a fair level of consistency (even cross-platform), and, well, they’re familiar.

Shuttleworth seems to believe it’s time to retire the concept entirely – or at least offer an alternative. Even in this supposedly post-PC world, the menu is still very much alive and kicking – they may have remarketed them as pop-overs or “touch selection experiences” or whatever, but don’t be fooled by that nonsense.

The menu is a core element of the graphical user interface developed by Xerox, and it has been adopted by virtually all popular computing environments ever since.

Shuttleworth has just announced yet another significant change for Ubuntu, and it’s all about replacing the menu with a search interface dubbed the HUD.īack when I still wrote my series on Common Usability Terms, I also wrote one about the menu.

#INKSCAPE VS KRITA MANUAL#

I had a reference that I went off of for the main lights and shadows, and the rest was just manual blending (going over areas with a 50% opacity brush, picking whatever color that resulted in, using it with the brush, rinse and repeat), which I had never done before and haven't been able to replicate since.As much as I dislike Unity, I commend the Ubuntu team and Shuttleworth for having the guts to try to innovate and bring the desktop forward (pretty much the exact same can be said of KDE4 and GNOME3). A Painting of My Former Inquisitor Thank you! Are there any good sprite creation programs for Godot? Krita - Free, oriented around digital art mainly, and can be used to create sprites.
