Trying out Axure
More axure pain.
The little preview windows when hovering over pages are just way annoying.
Also, I am getting desperate trying to use masters as backgrounds. When I put a master that has the 'background' property on a page, it seems I can't edit it, but when I click it twice then I can? And there's something going on with green and red borders, indicating something. Sorry guys, but this is WAY confusing and bad UI. Be better than Visio, I want you to!
The way I'd like it to work, is:
- If I click on a page or master in the nav, that is shown in the middle main screen.
- If a master is set to 'background', it shows in the left nav (little icon perhaps), and I can NOT move it around or edit it when editing a page, even not after double click, and just get rid of that red/green border coz I have no idea of what it means.
- The previews are no fun.
- And: why can't I make more stencils myself? Or do the 'masters' provide that functionality.
Final verdict: not great, not because of any inherent problem with the concept, but I can't figure out the functionality to do what I need to do.
Now tell me it's my fault.
