The "Drag Files Here" is Ugly

Maybe An ICON?

[Matt]

Yeah, you're probably right.

We're still working on the look of the action window.  It should improve with time.

That part used to be more graphical with less text, but it failed in usability tests because people didn't see or read the text.

I was thinking (Hoping) it would change

Still it worked fine, I Was just Burning Some CD's For My Trip To Atlanta and Noticed It.

Hope the Yugo makes it

All you need to do is make the font less clutzy, get rid of the yellow halo around the letters and maybe put it on one line instead of three lines (not sure what graphic format you are using, but if it supports trnaparency, just pad it out top and bottom to give "white space" in the window).

The idea is fine, it just needs to be made to look more polished. I like the text, there isn't any way to misunderstand what it means, assuming one understands English.

I can't remember what the icon was before, but if it was a CD, that wouldn't communicate much in the way that files were expected to be dropped on it. Perhaps a "better" icon.

Either, way I really like the way this feature has been progressing. It is a LOT easier to use and the wizardlike approach makes sure that I don't forget a step. Now I can make more Coasters CDs and less coasters.

I was thinking more like a

Animated Conveyor Belt With Songs On It Taking A Ride thru some doors and on the other side are flames as the song names are burned into a CD that comes out the other side.

hahahaha!  

Add a red guy with a pitch fork and you've got my vote! (Would solve the "Halo" problem too )

What would be really nice is if we could see the list of files as we're dragging them onto it, like we can with Playing Now and Playlists.

I think you can, i think there is link text there in 10.0.30, "show files" or something

[Doof]

Right, but you can't see that list and your library at the same time.

[KingSparta]

Like a Split Screen File List

==========
Media Library
==========
Burn List
==========

Or even just populate the AW with the list of files the way it does with Playing Now and Build Playlist.
