JRVR Settings UX question
« on: May 17, 2023, 06:20:37 am »

I'm trying to organize the Output settings in JRVR a bit more by category in anticipation of adding more for aspect ratio settings, and possibly more HDR options - the one long list was getting a bit hard to navigate.

So my question is, if you see an option tree like this:


Would you be inclined to click on the Monitor name itself to find "general settings", or would you rather expect all settings to be in sub-categories?

I like the prior. It’s t simplifies the tree. And if they are going to have to click it anyways to expand the tree for that display, there should be no issues with doing that.

Existing tree doesn't expand, if this bit does, I think that would be odd

I think a separate entry is cleaner, and to avoid needing to make another filler page clicking the monitor could just redirect the user to that one as well. Although right now I don't really have any content for a general page anyway, I should probably name it differently and put aspect ratio/black bar control on there.
