This got me thinking about a redesign, so I've coded up a
new ui (some parts working, others not). Before I work on finalizing
it, and getting it fully functional, I wanted to get input from other
Haikuers.
BTW, it takes me about 5 minutes to understand what happpens if the
system has more than one audio/video hardware and how the preferred
input should be configured in proposed UI. So, unfortunately, I cannot
say that it is intuitive. :-( IMO, stretching those controls "in the
corner" looks not so pretty in comparison with almost empty "General"
pane on the them. ;-)
Another, pedantical, point: it is obvious that tab control is restricted
in it's possibilities and many of modern applications have migrated now
to "tree selector on the left" settings dialogs. Tree selector is much
more flexible that tab control. But proposed UI welcomes us in backward
direction. In my opinion, having all items listed in the single tree as
currently in Media preflet is much more clear solution than separating
the audio and video hardware on different tabs. Currently, the single
look is enough to estimate the system - but some mouse clicks will be
required for the same task in proposed UI design.
