I've been using the AA1 for about a day now and one thing I noticed is
that there is no UI/OS system that is optimized for these small, rather
wide, screens.
top and bottom of the window? For a screen with a resolution that is
almost twice as wide as it is tall (in my case 1024x600px) this is not
the best way to present a UI. In Office it is even worse (see the
second screenshot), leaving almost no room for the actual content. Here's an idea: remove the menus, use buttons with contextual texts and
place them to the side. preferably even collapsible. Also, please (and
that goes for every OS actually) get rid of these window bars, make
them smaller, movable (to the side maybe), a bit like tabs.. hangon..
BeOS/Haiku has that :) Anyway, lovin' my AA1, but the UIs are not well thought-out..
