Discussion / Comments

  • I'm not sure the tabs really work for listing users, at least it seems very un-intuitive to me. What I liked about the previous, more sketchy mockup, was that the computer name went into the otherwise rather empty panel and that the login-box was kinda reduced in complexity and size. Now it contains lots of widgets and elements again. --Simon
