Hi,
The live text on the images might not render as intended due to
available system fonts, so the images have been compiled into a .pdf[00]
for presentation purposes. Due to mailing list size constraints, the
associated message[1] could not be included.

Hi,
Thanks for the responses! After some exploration the Greeter eventually
reached a point where some decisions need to be made. Each needed
decision is listed below with a brief summary and accompanied by a link
to an image, with more info on each image.
As always, feel free to share your thoughts. Keep in mind that although
we will benefit from arguments for, we also really need arguments
against, so please do not be shy.
NEEDED DECISIONS:
Structure Types[0]
---------------
There are three different structures.
• Step-by-step - Guided walkthrough
• Show/Hide - Hidden off-screen or behind on-screen element
• Openface - Full display
[0] - Greeter.Decision.00.svg
Start Tails Button Location[1]
------------------------------
Should the location of the button be in either the top Greeter frame or
the bottom of the Greeter canvas?
• Top
• Bottom
[1] - See Greeter.Decisions.pdf
Color Blocking[2]
-----------------
Should the canvas either split into cells to emphasize separate content
or stand-alone as a single-celled canvas?
• Blocked
• Not Blocked
[2] - See Greeter.Decisions.pdf
Settings Labels[3]
------------------
Should the settings sections be labeled with either two or three labels?
• Two
• Three
[3] - See Greeter.Decisions.pdf
Label Icons[4]
---------------------
Should icons accompany either the section labels or the line item
labels?
• Section
• Line Item
[4] - See Greeter.Decisions.pdf
Close Greeter[5]
---------------------
Should the Greeter have the option to be closed?
• Close
• No Close
[5] - See Greeter.Decisions.pdf
Display/Hide[6]
---------------------
Should the Greeter use display/hide functionality to manage information?
• Accordion
• Drawer
[6] - See Greeter.Decisions.pdf
Other Options[7]
---------------------
Should we explore other Greeter options?
• Icon Buttons
• Icon & Text Buttons
• Icon, Text, & Info Buttons
• List Item Buttons
[7] - See Greeter.Decisions.pdf
Once we decide on these things we can bust out a mockup that embodies
the new decisions and we can hopefully move into each of the settings
options, e.g., Keyboard Language, and so on.
I have kept the explanations as brief as I could, so please ask
questions if you got 'em.
Wordlife,
Spencer
