How to make a button look disabled
Hopefully this isn’t too specific for here. I have the following button image that I use on my site
Here’s an example with text:
This is rendered using the following CSS:
input.borderlessButton {
background: url(“../Images/butto…
Mark or don’t mark required fields if all are required?
If all fields in a form are required should they be marked somehow (eg. with an asterisk)?
I see this done a lot and find it redundant?
There could be a difference in big forms and small forms, but in big ones I would add a note at the t…
Why do washing machines have windows?
I’m curious why every front-loaded washing machine I’ve seen so far comes with a window, while other household machines, like dishwashers, don’t.
From a design or UI/UX perspective, why would one want a user to be able to see their cloth…
Setting a default localization in a website
We are having trouble understanding the best case for UX when it comes to default language/locale on a website
At the moment, the website behave like this:
a predefined list of languages is set – in this case, “en” ,”es” (E…
User interface for multi-dimensional data presented as lists
I have an application that lists all the modules loaded in a performance test in a baseline and a current testrun. Each run in turn has many iterations. A user can view the difference of what was loaded in the baseline versus current across all iterations by selecting All in the dropdown list.
However, I want to add the ability to go to another tool for the following combination of parameters (module, runtype(baseline or current) and iteration (0,1,2,..)) etc.
For example: I will open up a call stack for Module0.dll in baseline testrun for iteration 1.
However, iterations don’t show up in this UI as the values in baseline and current columns are aggregates across all iterations.
My idea was to make the cell values in baseline and current as hyperlinks where a user can right-click -> see a menu of iterations and click on a particular iteration to go to the new tool. I am not sure that it is the best user experience/UI though.
Any suggestion on improving this workflow will be highly appreciated.

What is the most designer-friendly and intuitive wireframing and/or UX app?
Check out Lucidchart. They have pre-defined wireframe and mockup (iPad, iPhone, Android) shape libraries, so it’s easy to drag and drop elements into my mockup. It’s easy to import pictures, so sometimes if I want a really sophisticated mockup in the final stages of the design, I’ll import designs I’ve create in Photoshop as images, and use them as drag and drop elements.
Some of the unique things about Lucidchart are:
· Works on any operating system, which is great when developers and designers need to interact (Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.)
· Real-time collaboration. This means that anyone you share your design with can always see the most recent version, and that you can work together with others simultaneously.
· Interaction and Demo mode. There are “hot spots” or linking areas within Lucidchart that allow you to add interactivity to your designs.
What are the UI/UX guidelines for data heavy modern style Windows apps?
I’m working on an application that uses the Windows “modern” design language (née Metro). The app involves a lot of data entry and manipulation. Think of something like you might do with MS Access – master detail, forms, queries/filters, e…
What is the best software for doing mobile interaction/UX design for native apps?
I would recommend Lucidchart. It’s really easy to do mock-ups of the following:
1. iOS devices: iPhone and iPad
2. Android devices (drag and drop) shapes and templates
3. Any website (wireframing).
You can also add interaction with “hot spots”, which are basically areas that link to other parts of the mockup (pop-ups, other screens, etc.).
Lucidchart has a free 14 day trial so it’s a low risk program to try, and it is web-based, so you can access your files anytime on any device. It also allows you to collaborate in real-time — more than one designer/developer can be working on the design at the same time. I work for Lucidchart, and we are currently using it to mock up our own mobile apps.
What is more accurate "Click in the checkbox" or "Click on the checkbox"
I have a checkbox on one of the pages i am designing.
My original suggestion was to have this text “Click on the checkbox….”.
However the technical writer is saying it should be “Click in the checkbox”
What do you think is more accurat…
