Hi!

I am a devoted user of Xoops, and I think that it is simply great to be able to use such a great portal system.

As a PC (open-minded) user, I am interested in the development of other OS's, such as Mac OS X 10.x.

I think that the efforts made by Apple in order to improve, simplify and present more clearly the infos / options / choices are an example, or can be a source of inspiration.

The Control Panel in Mac OS X 10.x is a model, included, I believe, for Xoops. XOOPS has so many options that I think a work in the improvement of the presentation could be done (a screen = 2 or 3 choices maximum).

Examples, screenshots :

A "Apple Human Interface Guidelines" made by Apple could be read in order to see how they think their presentation should be :
- download the PDF HERE;
- or visit the online Guidelines HERE.

Of course, I don't say XOOPS control panel could be done exactly like Apple does its own. But the work and the values (clearness, simplification, etc) could be interesting to think about.

I am highly interested in your opinion about that.

Cheers,

Don.
