Checkboxes don't really convey what they're supposed to do

Open BonzaiThePenguin opened this issue 10 years ago • 5 comments

The current design of using checkboxes next to each app and process doesn't really convey what clicking them will do. It'd probably make a lot more sense to have a tiny progress wheel icon when animations are enabled, and a progress wheel with a slash through it when it's disabled.

The checkboxes were only there to get version 1.1 out the door as soon as possible. :P

MEH. The concept might be okay, but I'm not liking this exact look. Will try some other things.

How about something like this?

That's a really good idea, actually. I was thinking about going with a different icon as well since the progress wheel implies it blocks the app from loading, like a firewall, when it really just prevents you from seeing if it's loading. The Quick Look icon is a good metaphor for that.

I can upload the assets, or the source .sketch file if you want : )

Well, it's an improvement at least.

I might wait to merge this one with the sort options, so like if you sort by how much data each app uses it can show the data counts next to each app, and if you sort by whether animations are enabled it can show the eye icons.
