Oh yes, I only referred to the "there is more" indicator in Office. This menu population based on usage is crap.zarevak wrote:IIRC Microsoft itself said, that hiding menu parts in Office was bad idea - users weren't able to predict when particular feature would hide and it was difficult for users to find features they wanted. This was one of the reasons for the new Ribbon UI.
On the other side I like the idea of just hiding "Advanced features" in "Basic" mode. But the set of visible and hidden features must stay fixed.
I foresee it like this:
BASIC MODE:
Basic Menu Item 1
Basic Menu Item 2
...
### more ###
INTERMEDIATE MODE: (if ALTAP wants three level, I think two are good enough)
Basic Menu Item 1
Basic Menu Item 2
...
Intermediate Menu Item 1
...
### more ###
EXPERT MODE: (or every time ### more ### is clicked)
Basic Menu Item 1
Basic Menu Item 2
...
Intermediate Menu Item 1
...
Expert Menu Item 1
