Forum Suggestion . . .

Theresa,

As Claudio says, your idea was tried (twice) and we yelled and hollered until they reverted to the "classic" look.

Adobe is a graphic design oriented company, and so are most Adobe users, of course. The current design is clean, elegant and highly efficient.

What was tried along the very lines you indicate was an abomination. It reminded people of elementary school, of images of prisoners living behind bars and a host of other unpleasant sensations.

It has to do with a lot more than a "comfort zone". It has to do with good design principles.

Ahhhh Yes!! . . .

I'm quite familiar with the whole "comfort zone" concept and the chaos it can create when people are not in theirs. I'm relatively new to this forum and was curious if the idea had ever been approached. Guess I got my answer!!

Thanks for your valuable insight. : )

Theresa

Hello Theresa,

In my ignorance, I would think both things are feasible, although the second would probably be much more difficult to implement than the first. However, I would also think that the following questions should have to be answered before doing anything:

1. Would these features satisfy a need for the majority of users? Or, at least,

2. Would these changes be welcome by the majority of users?

I remember that not so long ago several changes were introduced in the format of these pages, and this produced such an uproar amongst users, that everything had to be brought back to "normal".
