Executive Summary:

There are a wide range of minor to major issues with KBruch, most of which have to do with the interaction and usability of the application. There are also a number of suggestions in game play and interface to help improve the application.

Most of the interface rework is for the general interface. Some of it is suggestion, in particular moving the mode buttons to the toolbar. It may end up the most effective way to present the user navigation of the different application modes is with the left document menu as previously designed. This type of navigation is commonly used throughout KDE. The major concern was the three-column layout of the document space, however there may be other ways of redesigning the mode options and displaying the user score.

It is, however strongly recommended to consider the individual task mode changes. These screenshots are implementations of possible fixes for the usability issues found in the interface.

There are no suggestions for the Factorization Task mode at this time. The general interface suggestions would apply to this mode.
