@Marco: Since the "Active Project"'s intention is to be deployable on

can be added some explicit case that changes anchoring when the size goes
beyond a certain one, for things a lot different may be necessary to provide a
different package providing a different set of qml files, would like to keep
trying save vertical space for now
+1. As long as we have only one version, we should aim for saving the space. But
in general it definitely makes sense to adapt layouts to different screen sizes
/ resolutions, because a layout that is optimized for a 7" screen is likely to
be sub-optimal for a 10" screen and vice versa (not to mention resolutions
beyond that range).
Have you thought about the error message dialog (same activity name)?
Where would it pop up/be displayed? Did we decide for a common pattern
for error messages in PA?
The idea that came up on our last discussion thread for this was a "Message
Bubble" that is connected to the name field. However, this was not
implemented yet. Currently the message appears to the right of the
lock/unlock switch (not a good position, actually)
I think the bubbles are a good (and rather widespread) pattern for messages
which relate to specific input fields, so I think we should try that out.
i can try for now one that is specific to that dialog, one that is a generic
component enough would be a bit more complex problem
Hmmm... I'm not sure if it makes sense to put effort into something specific if
we need a generic component in the future anyway (and we definitely will). On
the other hand, it may make sense to create a specific example with relatively
little effort and test it from a UX perspective before more effort is put into a
generic component.
I'd say it depends on how much work the specific solution would be. If it's
relatively easy to do, I'd say "Let's try it out!".
