What is the reasoning behind grayscale icons? The part that makes me furious (given Microsoft's latest announcement blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2012/02/23/…) is that this only works for certain types of user interfaces, particularly those that don't have a hundred buttons, tree views and panels all over the interface. When will UI designers start to realise this is just a very specific design metaphor and not some cool fad? Coloured icons work when there are many icons to be seen. |

Greater Than > or Plus + 8+ is more intuitive to me at a glance. >7 would be used in a mathematical context, but in a UI, I would use 8+ myself. |

Greater Than > or Plus + If you want to get technical, they each have different meanings anyway. >8 = greater than 8 8+ = greater than or equal to 8 |

Symbol for “Swipe Left” Apple's is a good way to approach it as it provides both a virtual object to manipulate and instructs the user on the action to take at the same time. |

Examples of placebos in UI design? I've never had a close button do anything, but the open button typically works. |

What are the negative and positive aspects of dark color scheme? +1 I've always loved the darker interface in Lightroom. Not only that, but in general if a light-on-dark interface is designed well, it can reduce glare over long periods of use. Pure white text on a dark background can make you squint, but light gray text is a lot easier on the eyes. |

Should I trim spaces in passwords? Or alternatively, require that passwords don't have spaces. Whitespace should be part of any "illegal characters". |
