Hmm, you are right. The name is longer for me than for root. Though, what is strange about it is, in both cases there is plenty of space between the names and the buttons, so it shouldn't need the extra space anyway..
The reason I recommend "Rename" for the name instead of Change like the others is that it's not immediately clear what is being changed otherwise (since it's just a person-head and a name). Also it would break up the repetition and is more specific. -James On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 9:05 AM, Milan Bouchet-Valat <nalimi...@club.fr> wrote: > If you want to provide a full UI review, a message to our mailing list > would be more appropriate I guess.
