In this short post I’d like to share a real case of user interface improvement that we implemented in the upcoming release of the Dr.Explain 4.0.
In previous releases of the Dr.Explain we had a problem - much of screen space on the top of the application window was not used effectively.
Before (old versions of the Dr.Explain):
We reworked and united the toolbar and tabs to eliminate the unused space. Here is a solution:
Now (Dr.Explain 4.0):
With the new design users have more space for work, not for application buttons.
Check if your application interface has unused areas that might be used for real work.
This year our Dr.Explain help tool team is proud to be a sponsor of The Conference for Software User Assistance by WritersUA.
The focus of the Conference for Software User Assistance is on developing the best possible user experience for all types of software applications through well-designed interfaces and helpful and accessible support information. The Conference includes over sixty sessions Sunday, March 21, through Wednesday, March 24.
Success in improving the software user experience depends on applying the right skills and technologies to maximum advantage. The conference targets this need by providing an array of sessions demonstrating effective techniques, case studies demonstrating best-in-class designs, technology updates, and much more.
This year’s Conference features seven interest areas with information on:
- Emerging Skills

If your host uses Spam Assassin to protect your mail box from SPAM then read this post!
We use Spam Assassin on our host to filter out SPAM. Recently, it was discovered that the Spam Assassin had a bug. It added extra 3.4 SPAM scores to ALL e-mails dated 2010 or later.
I’m afraid we lost some incoming e-mails that were filtered out due-to false SPAM suspicious.
Currently we’re running beta testing of Dr.Explain 4.0. All feedback is extremely important for us! Missing e-mails is unacceptable.
If you sent us a e-mail in 2010 but haven’t received a response yet, please resend it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you’re using Spam Assassin then either update or add 4 points to your filter thresholds.
