Done. We’re now waiting for some crazy new mockups to be sent on tails-ux.

Hey,

First here just the results of the paper testing session. No proposals, just problems.
After, you can find a the same results with the links to the UI proposal we did the workshop after.

language

A - https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/greeter_revamp_UI/greeter-1st-screen.png

- a bit difficult to understand this keyboard/formats/timezone options

- on person do not see that it’s possible to remember the settings with the remember button
- difficult to understand that items on right depend on the selected item of left

A -> B
- difficult to have 2 so differents interfaces with the same kind of settings

B - https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/greeter_revamp_UI/greeter-1st-screen-langsaved.png
- difficult to understand that it’s possible to change the settings from the English/English(us)/United States/09h03 (Eastern Time)

wizard

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/greeter_revamp_UI/greeter-guided-context.png

- hard to understand wich “case” does what, especialy between “public place” and “web café”

- affected options depending on case are not visible enaugh

- how to go from one screen to the previous one (no back buttun ?)

- buttons at the bottom (discover, quick setup, start) are useless

- at the top, breadcrumb not easy to understand
- people think that the wizard is just for first time user, so it’s a tool for non usuals situations too

general and advanded

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/greeter_revamp_UI/greeter-advanced-screen.png

- paradox of “advanced” and “quick”. quick means “simple” but it’s for the “advanced” users

- all options in Discover are not in Quick Setup (and vice versa) see [1] and [2]

- persistance : find a more explicit word. maybe this word is too strong (“it’s not possible to erase”, “stays for ever”)

- strange to have a configure button for persistence

- have something visble to know wich options are default if the user to not configure anything
- lot of screens

I know that this proposals can not become a concensus because the GNOME 3 human interface guidelines respect are more or less a blocker, but we will find maybe ideas to keep. The [indications] are related to :

language

A - https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/greeter_revamp_UI/greeter-1st-screen.png

- a bit difficult to understand this keyboard/formats/timezone options [no implementation]

- on person do not see that it’s possible to remember the settings with the remember button [button on top of the section]
- difficult to understand that items on right depend on the selected item of left [“same background”]

A -> B
- difficult to have 2 so differents interfaces with the same kind of settings [more familiar accordeon UI]

B - https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/greeter_revamp_UI/greeter-1st-screen-langsaved.png
- difficult to understand that it’s possible to change the settings from the English/English(us)/United States/09h03 (Eastern Time) [more familiar accordeon UI, visual indications of the selected options]

UI proposal here : https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-ux/attachments/20150114/49c708f3/attachment-0001.svg

- hard to understand wich “case” does what, especialy between “public place” and “web café” [introducting notion of computer ownership]

- affected options depending on case are not visible enaugh [options in blue]

- how to go from one screen to the previous one (no back buttun ?) [no implementation]

- buttons at the bottom (discover, quick setup, start) are useless [no more buttons]

- at the top, breadcrumb not easy to understand [no more breadcrumb]
- people think that the wizard is just for first time user, so it’s a tool for non usuals situations too [no implementation]

general and advanded

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/greeter_revamp_UI/greeter-advanced-screen.png

- paradox of “advanced” and “quick”. quick means “simple” but it’s for the “advanced” users [rewording : basic/advanced]

- all options in Discover are not in Quick Setup (and vice versa) see [1] and [2]

- persistance : find a more explicit word. maybe this word is too strong (“it’s not possible to erase”, “stays for ever”) [no implementation]

- strange to have a configure button for persistence [persitence configuration goes to a dedicated section]

- have something visble to know wich options are default if the user to not configure anything [icon on top of sections]
- lot of screens [merge “Advanced configuration” and “1st screen”]
