GreenAsJade Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 For the record, I agree with the observation that the way the buttons work is very unintuitive. I'm suprised that it's deliberate, but users are forever suprising designers in what they expect. Glad to here that there's a mod. That's the good thing about CM... so much can be fixed with a mod!

Treeburst155 Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 This is just a personal preference issue, really. If the buttons worked the other way, I think this thread would have been started by the group who have no problem with the current default. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cull Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Crap, of all the threads to add two cents! It is not a big deal to me (especially since you can clearly see what it is doing without looking at the button, but The Bunny is correct for crying out loud. Think of, for example, your typical media interface like Windows Media Player: the button says "play" when it is paused, and "pause" when it is playing. As stated, it should read what it will do when you push it, not what it is currently doing. How is this not utterly obvious? Wow, I just wasted a full minute of my life on this subject. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've really wasted two cents as well. I've wasted 6 cents and about 3 minutes, the clock is ticking... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 How 'bout when it's playing, the button says, "Not Paused" and when it's paused, the button says, "OK, NOW it's paused". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberFunBunny Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 Originally posted by SuperSulo: "If" I get around to it, I'll "fix" the button for CMAK too. Please please please! (How's about that for begging?!) If you don't get around to it I'll attempt it, though I'm not so graphically inclined. I really liked your molotov mod for CMBB too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMplayer Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Well it's easy enough to fix. Now my buttons say pause, when it's running, and play when it's paused. All that more advanced stuff with the >> blinking etc, I don't care about. You need to switch some bmps, and do a minor cut n paste onto bmp 2010. No big deal. I can send them to anyone who wants them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSulo Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I finally got around to mod the buttons, but there's no CMAK section on cmmods.com... I'll put them here for now: http://home.swipnet.se/supersulo/ss_playcmak.zip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
