Hi all, I started to write some lines about dialog design and issues in the wiki: http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:devel-tips#dialogsdesign_and_behaviour
The list is not complete yet. I will add some additional notes and some dialog design examples. Then I think we should decide which is the best dialog design. Here are three current dialogs from CVS: The line type dialog: http://www.h-renrew.de/download/lineprop.png The print dialog: http://www.h-renrew.de/download/print.png The autonumber dialog: http://www.h-renrew.de/download/autonumber2.png All have different styles, some good, some bad. The autonumber dialog uses: ++ bold section headlines ++ indentation for section groups ++ section headings have no colon ++ element descriptions have a colon -- missing horizontal line before the buttons -- the elements are not equal spaced (it does not look good) 00 it uses frames with zero frame width line The print dialog: ++ all elements has proper spacings ++ a separator line -- the element description has no colon -- wrong button [save as] 00 uses frames for sections and the section headings are not bold The line type dialog: ++ all elements are equal spaced ++ seperator line between dialog and buttons -- section heading is not bold and has a colon -- no indentation Which opinion do others have on the different design elements? ++ good -- bad 00 neutral Regards Werner _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
