YaST/Development/New Control Center/YaST KDEstyle

From openSUSE

YaST control center improved by KDE ideas

According to the results of the YaST card sort study the number of categories was reduced from nine to five:

• Software
• Hardware
• System
• Network
• User and Security

Additionally to that a new category was created called "Favorites". If the user doesn't put any favorites in there, the space will be occupied by the recently used items.

In the overview the top five modules of each category will be presented. These modules were identified in the card sort study. The user now has the possibility to expand the view by clicking on the "expand" button on the right.

In the expanded view all other modules are shown in an alphabetical order. Even the uninstalled modules are shown to the user to give him a glimpse of what his operating system is capable of :-)

The user can also start modules which are not included in the category but which are related to it.
