Animated Start Installation Dialog confuses users

Postby MarkElder » Tue Dec 20, 2005 3:29 pm

A user just sent me the e-mail below. I agree that this screen is confusing. I'll just remove the screen from my install. It is not really needed anyway. This is the startinstallation screen from the Classic Theme

I've almost been faked out (and a user was faked out for an hour plus) by the attached screen that has an animated picture (file moving) on it, but which is waiting for the user to hit "next". The animated picture makes the user think they are waiting for the PC or installation process to do something.


I'm not really looking for a reply. I just throught I would share :-)

You are right, this is often confusing - an oversight in our Classic theme.

If you are using Studio or higher, just change the active property of the animation to false, or delete the animation control.

Or like you say, just hide the dialog or swap themes :)
