- Changing the aging UI is probably a wise move and can keep TB looking
"young" for a while,
- replacing some of the current Menu bar content and place it under the
AppMenu button sounds appealing. (I'm personally completely overwhelmed
when I go through the current menus! remember I'm a "user"... not a
developer - ad I don't give a cent to the Caracter Encoding, or Activity
Manager :-) )...As long as we document somewhere that you can go back to
your good old Menu bar with a right click;

Initially the left menu part was for the everyday (or almost everyday)
used items and the right part for the not so often used items. Initially
I would put only the most important items in it (a Test Pilot study
would helped here) but then I was outvoted to put all menu items from
main menu in the AppMenu.

<pre wrap="">- In order to know if this AppMenu button is acceptable to a large
number of users, a test would be really useful as each of us has a
different view on the UI and the debate can last for few weeks
- BUT I don't think that the actual AppMenu content/structure is
appropriate... _from the perspective of a User_, it's very confusing and
not logical (but you can argue this is MY opinion and I accept your
comment here)
- By consequence, I suggest the following:
* we take the current AppMenu content and call it Test A
* we reshuffle the content of the AppMenu and call it Test B (I've
suggestions already)
And we (I with whoever wants to help) conduct 2 tests with 2 different
groups of guinea pigs.
We check together it AppMenu A or AppMenu B gather more approvals
than the other and then we retest the winner against more end-users.
If none of the AppMenu gets a positive scoring, then we have to
decide what to do with this new UI proposal in TB17
Having briefly discussed the point with Blake, I understand it might not
be trivial but I think this is worth the pain.

As already noted, for TB 17 this is a little bit late, but maybe we
could adapt the menu for TB 17.1 (or how the intermediate release will
be named) or 24 according this tests.

Maybe a easy going UI change -- but I think an important change for
the user acceptance -- would be the the AppMenu placement.<br>
