Does the use of lines improve the usability of tree widgets? Good discussion of using zebra stripes with trees, but I don't think zebra stripes are what the OP meant. I think he meant lines that connect parents to children - "lines to connect the hierarchy of nodes." |

App interface for changing relational percentages Auto-adjusting is great as long as precision across the pots isn't a priority. It would be frustrating if you knew that Pot A needed to be exactly 12, but every time you adjusted another pot, Pot A auto-adjusts in reaction. |

Pull-to-refresh and search bar @John Couldn't agree more about the mini-tabs being a problem. I'm guessing they were included for business and not UX reasons. I never switch tabs, and I'm sure people that actually do would be happier using a drop-down menu rather than tabs. |

Master Reference - Objects Sync Can you add some more concrete details about what these abstract Objects, Parameters, Values and Templates actually are? It's hard to guess how users might react in these scenarios when the context is so abstract. |

Pull-to-refresh and search bar Glad to help, Nic! @BenBrocka, I think Google was trying to send a message to Apple that native apps aren't the only show in town, so they really wanted to push the envelope. Also, last I checked, the Gmail web app is still more polished (and feature-rich) than their native iOS Gmail app. |

Should filtering of data have an effect on the filter criteria as well? To your first question, I imagined the number would be the resulting number if they were to apply that filter in addition to all other selected filters. Secondly, I assumed (given this example) that the Type is unique to the Brand, so that if you picked a different Brand, a new set of unique Types would arrive. So in your example, if you picked VW, the Type values would be replaced with Passat, Golf, Rabbit, etc. I'm not suggesting you break that link between those fields. I am suggesting criteria that is common to all cars is always shown. |

Ideal number of data points per 100 pixels for a chart One thing to consider is that if the users care about slope, that will be most legible and comparable where the axes are scaled in an optimal way so that slopes are closest to 45 degrees as possible, I believe. Can't seem to find the attribution for that - I think it's Tufte. |

Should I place an image behind text data? @Viraj, to be clear, you mean "grayscale" rather than actual black and actual white, right? |

Should I place an image behind text data? To expand on @RogerAttrill's point, if you are going to do it, err heavily on the side of legibility. What's the worst case if you make the brand image too subtle? The user won't notice it; not a big deal. |

Advice on great examples of social networking design ( profiles / search / my profile )? Social networking has become a really broad topic - can you be more specific about the site's intentions? What type of community? How do they interact? |

Which is worse--making the user close a file before they can export a second time or having multiple similar files open? FWIW, I do a lot of work in Fireworks, which has a frequently used export function. Some days I export hundreds of times a day. It's a mix of overwriting existing files or saving out new variants. There is a similar dialog to the one above. I don't mind this step because I can plow right through it with the enter key when I am overwriting. If I need to change the filename, it's an easy tweak before proceeding. Not sure how relevant that is to the use case where the file is already open, however. |

how to make compact UI for lists +1 There's a reason this pattern is so common for multi-list apps - see MS Outlook, Mail.app (and Gmail web app) for iPad, Asana, Trello, etc. etc. etc. |
