BIG BUTTONS are the answer Peter. We tried the same thing with our apps and it was a dismal failure. Then we had a rethink and just modified the user interface to use buttons that you just can not mistake!!
Funnily enough lots of the people using the desktop app also prefer this approach so I added in the ability to put user icon shortcuts onto the desktop per user, which makes it totally personal.
Hi Dave,
Just playing round with the interface and the possibility of replacing the menu with buttons. In the past I have ignored top level forms and just used the desktop with a menu and call all forms etc from the menu. Do you use a top level form and put the main menu buttons on that, then when they click on a button put up some more buttons for the submenu?
Also been playing with shortcuts on the desktop. Used a picture under an invisible button and seems to work fine on a form but couldn't get it to work on the desktop. Is that how you did it?
Thanks,
Peter
