Good practice is to make hover zone bigger than small visible boundary.
Ok practice is to make hover zone equal to visible boundary.
And then there’s Safari. Hover zone is SMALLER than button boundaries!
Top: Delete character button uses X icon. Bad, because X means close. Being red also doesn’t help here, because Close window in Windows is also red.
Bottom: Delete button replaced with trash icon after a storm of complaints.
Bonus: a video of a user deleting his character by mistake (in Russian) youtube.com/watch?v=YUXXwQXzBbk
Left: Google search page for the query “Dog”
Here’s what’s in it, top to bottom:
- 5 search suggestions
- 5 images
- 1 search result
- 1 search subresult (?)
- A map
- 3 organizations
- 4 more search suggestions
- Oh wow, two more results! We’re on the third screen by now.
- Three videos
- 1 search result with 4 inline images
- 3 Top stories with 3 images
- 2 more results. This is fifth (!!!) screen by now, and we’ve only seen 6 results.
- 6 images
- 2 horizontal related searches
- 8 related searches organized in two columns
That’s 6 search results for 6 screens, interrupted by an impossible amount of distractions, all of which have different design and layout for some reason. Many of “result types” repeat multiple times (e.g. related searches and images”, leading to even more confusion
Right: DuckDuckGo for the same “dog” query.
- Three screens. 10 results. That’s 4 times the information density.
- Distractions (e.g. images) grouped into a small compact block, grouped into 1 place, presenting twice the amount of images.
- All consistently designed.
