Paralell buttons

As you have noticed by now, there are two new bottons in the galaxys screen window. I would like to point out to the tech crew and the rest of you that atm the up arrow goes down a gal in paralell and the down arrow goes up a gal in paralell. Now in stead a recoding just chnage the pics arround.

There have been like 10 threads about it, it has been discussed in CH! and the whole uni has talked about it!
I got one question where the f**** have you been?
You have to look at it like a plance 2d
example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 <--------- cluster
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
Para

If you like at this you see that when you push right you go up in cluster! If you push down you up in para!

This all might be confusing at the start, but you get used to it believe me. And if you don't sue the pa crew or shoot them or what ever the f*** you want!

Common design practice dictates that you should make the emergency stop button big and red so that when you really need to stop the machinery you know immediately where to push. Making it green and tiny and having to explain what it is over and over again after accidents have already happened isn't the way to go.

So, why isn't the para up arrow the one that gives you a higher number. If it was that way there wouldn't be a need for all these threads about it.

Theres a reason why many companies use consultants for UI design instead of letting the coders design it...

Any 'non-technical' person imagines 2D plane with origo on bottom left instead on the top corner. And as a little bonus it would result: 'up' is higher.

Along with psychology, sexology and folkloristics I have also studied HCI at university. and after all these years of study the bottom line is

Too right baby.

In my opinion, it makes sense.

Up/Left = Previous
Down/Right = Next

I can live it. I consider it totally retarded, but I can live it. Most of the trouble really comes from the buttom being too small to hit with the mouse quickly than from it leading to the "wrong" direction.
