    using text would lay bare the silliness of the radial menu pattern - it either wouldnt fit neatly into the circular containers or, if conformed to the curvature of the radial menu,…

    this approach is definitely more usable. radial menus only make ergonomic sense on ie game controllers. with a mouse it becomes a high precision action to use, plus poor accessibil…

    complete disaster. terrible for your skin, feels gross, falls apart, and cannot be repaired. meanwhile my cotton pants that have been repaired many times are still treasured wardro…
