Concerning the contributed document 'Mumble Usability Improvements Report 2015.pdf'

1.1: That back button is actually windows wizard style as per windows guidelines. TODO: Link to guidelines.

1.2: Agreed. TODO: Check if we can't just switch colors. Which colors are an issue? What would we switch to? TODO: (Link to) General color guidelines.

1.3: Activation description. Agreed.

1.4 Audio out test button

1.5 Mic input volume display. Agreed. A further optimization may be to display volumes of all possible selections, like windows does, to make it easier to *find* the correct device (rather than going through them individually).

1.6 PA

1.7 Page numbers I’m not sure about these. Does any other setup/wizard do these? What for? Maybe for referencing someone to a specific page.

1.8 Slider steps Sure; check how this is filled, and see if we can just display *all* discrete values.

2 Main window

2.1 minimal view Agreed. Too hard to find; we do occasionally get support request of users not getting out of it.

2.2 access tokens

2.3 Help section on main window Good idea

2.4 Transmission feedback, colorblind

2.5 channel hierarchy We already use italic for linked channels, so that’s not really an option. Leading guidelines may improve this, or visual borders/blocks.

2.6 error messages Yeah, these are known to sometimes lack information/be confusing. Needs further analysis.

2.7 Systray I don’t think we need connect and disconnect there.

2.8 What's This Should definitely be in main window then. Can it be done? (Settings is a modal dialog, without maximization/minimization buttons)

2.9 Add server label descriptive hint

2.10 UI icons Not sure which icon specifically is being talked about.

3 Settings

3.1 PTT Hotkey Assign Button Absolutely!

3.2 Shortcut key hint

3.3 Reset vs Restore Yeah, Reset is not really intuitively descriptive; but neither is "Restore Previous". Not sure if this does even do anything different from simply cancelling; does it just for the current page?

3.4 Greyed out apply on no changes Sure, could be a bit of work code-wise though; dunno.

3.5 Shortcut for local recording.

3.6 Messages column naming Sure, agreed, good argumentation.

3.7 Overlay settings Yes, it is overly complicated.

4 OS X

4.1 What's This is missing
