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. + + |
