Consistency
We must have visual and widget consistency across the UI. Examples:
- When dealing with variables, we should present consistent visual and operational options. For example, any list of variables should have at a minimum the following elements. The graphical representation of these things should be consistent across the UI. For example, if we use an icon to represent type, that will be consistent whenever there is a variable list, whether that list be in a combo box, a list box, or other widget. Similarly, loaded/unloaded representation should be consistent.
- Indication of type (Element, Node, etc.)
- State (loaded, not loaded)
- Name
