The Bookmark bubble doesn't suit me, so I've made some redesign suggestions. My preference is 2A, since it avoids the unbalanced whitespace of the original, takes less vertical space, gives more space to the name, and mousing down to Close is easier. Don't think so? Go ahead and ask me for a javascript prototype to get some statistics of mouse movement timing in 2A vs Original :-) 2A removes the part "Added!" and changes "Folder:" to "in", as well as demotes the Edit... button to a smaller link. I never use Edit... and maybe when the Bookmark Manager evolves that Edit... could lead to there with the current bookmark in view. Kind of like the excellent Show in folder. If 2A is too radical, then maybe 1A isn't too much to ask? 1A leaves more space for lengthy translations, while 2A could need to be more flexible, maybe shrinking the textfield for name to manage with lengthy translations. Further two quick suggestions. 1. Make the bubble appear further to the left, such that the mouse pointer will be closer to Close. 2. The name is always selected when opening the bookmark bubble and with long names you then only see the end of the name. Sometimes that can be very confusing, and I suggest making the selection such that the beginning of the textfield is in view instead of the end of it. |
