An evaluation of advanced user interface customization
Clemens Zeidler, Christof Lutteroth, Gerald Weber · 2013
Many graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are customizable. While there are many approaches to user interface customization, most of them are fairly simplistic, e.g., they only allow users to customize menus and toolbars. However, one can think of more advanced customization approaches that allow more complex GUI layout customizations and even functional customization. Functional customization goes deeper into the application logic and makes it possible to change the behavior of an application. In this paper we target two open questions: (1) Are technical users able to use such advanced customization approaches? (2) Would technical users apply such approaches in practice?
