If you're considering a more complex approach than just flipping the tabs orientation, then you might want to consider this related problem: I always end up confusing the "application" vs "devices" tabs, as currently the following is all placed on the same level of importance and with somewhat similar semantics: - "Playback" ("Playing streams/apps" to be precise) - "Recording" ("Recording streams/apps" to be accurate) - "Output devices" - "Input devices" - "Configuration" (really "Hardware devices configuration") One could imagine a more hierarchical system (treeview-style), maybe with something organized roughly like: Devices - Configuration - Output - Input Applications - Playback - Recording A bit oldschool, but I would find it easier to navigate, personally speaking. It's not a huge deal though, I reckon it might be a bit tricky.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
