You always run intro trouble with latest changes. I just forgot to update the screenshot, sorry.

I think scroll area is better, but it shouldn’t display the top-level categories in both the sidebar and the scrollarea. Only when a top-level module is selected should the sidebar appear. Having the...

Comparing both solutions I´d definitely prefer the "Scrollarea" solution. I nevertheless voted "I have a better idea" since there are at least two aspects of the "Scrollarea" solution that I...

I´d second your first idea but I disagree on the second one. To be honest, that´s mostly based on some gut feeling though.

I voted Scrollarea, since reaching settings that way is WAY FASTER than Drill Down. I like the current implementation, but I won’t get angry if you keep two levels of options at the same time, and...

I completely agree with Mike about the navigation bar inconsistencies. Actually, both of his points make since to me, but the navigation bar stuff irked me a little more. I discovered by accident that...

No matter what the outcome, I would also like the option to view all modules in a grid to remain, to allow faster access for those familliar with the module arrangement.

Why the change? The proposed new designs are OVERLY complicated, why adding layers after layers of complexity to something that should be as simple as possible? Current SystemSettings is phenomenal, it...

If we place the second sidebar right of the categories it occupies too much space. Replacing the categories bar by the sections bar (which is the second one), as The Dude recommends, requires a...

Aren’t you be satisfied with the section ‘Recent modules’? Anyway, I guess the implementation will just add a another ‘view’ so the legacy start page might be available too.

Current SystemSettings is phenomenal, it works as expected showing everything at a glance. Do we talk about the same app? The current shell hides all settings, has no consistent UX, and looks rather...

The current navigation would be great if indeed all settings modules would fit into the grid. However, if you look more closely, they don’t. While some modules are indeed shown on the start screen,...

I must agree with Mike Sanders! I like the “Scrollarea” solution more, but it is not perfect. 1) Instead of one advanced options button, add all advanced categories (like Animations, GTK-Style, …) as...

I also like the Scrollarea mock-up. If your mock ups really are based on the minimum resolution supported than it works surprisingly well (I thought those would cover to much horizontal space). Though...

Regarding the “advanced settings”: someone pointed to and that seems like a nice solution to me. Regarding the 2nd level nav (the sections with a category): I generally like the positioning of the...

Common design patterns will eventually be identified and re-used where they make sense. In fact, that approach is part of the design principles (see link below) we’ve laid out for guiding our work. It...
