    Dear all,

    I’m once again working on the UI design for Recogito and would appreciate a quick show of hands. Which version do you like better as the “base layout”. The lighter-coloured one? Or the version with the dark-blue sidebar? I’m attaching two different “areas” of Recogito as examples. Is the functionality reasonably understandable? Any thoughts and input appreciated!

    Example 1: Document settings page

     

    Example 2: text annotation page

    I vote for the blue sidebar in both cases. Breaks the screen up more visually, and is nice and clean. (I might be inclined to make the top banner a bit more distinct from the body as well, but you didn’t ask us that!)

    +1 on both. (Gabby’s follow up point relates to Mia’s broader question about the main menu, I think.)

    Nice and clear, Rainer!

    I, too, prefer the dark sidebar.

    About its functionality – it is hard to know until I start using it (and anyway I haven’t been annotating text). But, from what I can see, it looks good.

    I like the blue as well. Could you make the top bar icons a little more intense (I don’t remember if you have hover captions for them, but I’m slow to understand pictures of things so I hope you do…).

    I’m hoping I can try out Recogito to tag Leake’s Travels in the Morea (1830) once I’ve cleaned up the text a little. Will you be available in a couple of weeks to walk me through uploading the text file and my gazetteer? I’m hoping to end up with a text document with a few pseudo-xml place tags a la my ToposText. Is this doable?. e.g. <place id=’321123′>Lalla</place>

    Thanks for the feedback so far! (Keep it coming 😉 It looks like the votes are strongly leaning to the blue sidebar. (My favourite, too.)

    Yes, there are hover tooltips for the main menu bar icons. But as an extra question: I’d be interested to know if (some of) those icons alone are useful enough to give you an expectation of what might be hiding behind them? (This is particularly interesting in the light of tablet access, as there’s no good supplement for mouse hover on a touch device.)

    Just following up on this. The majority of votes here and on Twitter were for the blue sidebar option. So the blue sidebar it is!

    @damien-bove: thanks! The only icon difficult to identify then seems to be the one that’s going to be dropped and replaced anyway :-) I’ll bring an update soon.
