Comment Rollovers and single clicks are the way. (Score 1) 49
You've got to be kidding here.
single-click is extremely sensitive to error
and firing up stuff you never intended to
and more annoyances like that. It's just like
the M$ active desktop stuff on windoze. It must
be the most annoying thing they ever brought to
an already shitty OS.
NeXT didn't keep it all double-click for nothing.
There's a reason for everything in this
gui-concept and I think one of the reasons that
Window Maker is so highly appreciated in the
unix community is because of it's extremely
functional gui philosophy, borrowed from NeXT of
course. This is exactly where AfterStep went to
hell: introducing inconsistant gui stuff, useless
bloat and other similar things. It's a good thing
the Window Maker developers are rather strict as
far as the interface is concerned and I believe
strongly that this is one of the strongest points
that Window Maker has over a lot of other
environments.
