I'm +1 for tray dialog boxes Ludovic Guillaume Lerouge wrote:
Hi, As per the previous thread on the topic (see http://is.gd/1bRm ), Proposal n°4 attracted the most positive feedback for the WYSIWYG GUI (you can see it here : http://is.gd/1bRo ) . If nobody has anything against it, I'd like to get things forward and ask a real designer (that is, other than me :-) ) to review it and propose a good-looking version of the proposal. Therefore please shout now or never if you're against it !
Additionnaly, if you look into the proposal you'll see that we will need to decide between 2 options for advanced input interaction : a modal dialog box versus a tray. Both have advantages and issues and I'd like to get feedback about them. The dialog box prevents interaction with background content while the tray allows it : that could be useful for tables for instance.
Looking forward your feedback,
Guillaume
