I am trying to find out evidence concerning how to handle both timing and ease of modals/dialogs, popovers, popups, alerts and so on. Is there anyone who can share studies or links?

Thanks.

    The right answer is "it depends" which means you might want to be more specific. Articles won't provide much guidance with such an overarching context. Do you have a particular use-case that applies to something you're currently working on?

  • When you say evidence what do you mean? Seems your question is not clear enough. Aug 18, 2018 at 22:58

There is not an exact study which defines this kind of stuff. It all depends on the needs of the design system in place. For example, compare Material Design's modals ( https://material.io/design/motion/understanding-motion.html# ) with the ones from Apple Design System ( https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/visual-design/animation/ ). You will see that there is not a certain rule they follow.

However, you can find general (extremely general) guidelines, like: https://designmodo.com/design-modal-windows/ , from where you can get some tips of how to make a modal easier for the user to digest.

I hope that this helps you get closer to the answer you are seeking.

You can find some useful information at Material Deign's Dialogs section.

  • Hi Garik! I had already had a look both at Materials Design standards and the mani frontend frameworks such as Bootstrap, UIKit and Foundation. I was wondering whether there was a source I could go through or not... Dec 21, 2017 at 16:34
