| Summary | 0002289: UI inconsistency - don't use no double negatives! | ||
|---|---|---|---|

| Description | The RISC OS content config window has checkboxes for 'Hide advertisements', 'Disable pop-up windows' and 'Disable Javascript'. So you have to turn a checkbox /on/ to turn something /off/. That's a double negative, which is confusing UI design. Please reverse the sense of the checkboxes and adjust their names accordingly. Show advertisements (default off, I expect) Allow pop-ups (default off, I guess) Enable Javascript (default on, I presume) There may be other inverted config settings here and there (I also saw 'Disable animations', which should be 'Allow animations'. Always phrase things as a positive action, please, never a double negative. May apply to other platforms. |
