We've been working on a new style guide on and off. It's not really ready, and doesn't answer any of your questions. But it has some info on common terminology and instructions. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-devel-docs/tree/style-guide > I'm referring in particular to the ON/OFF switch, and the +/- buttons > to add and remove accounts. > On the wiki I couldn't find anything about that, nor here in mailing > list searching in the old discussions. > > For the +/- button, should we use the images instead like we do with > other buttons? > For the ON/OFF switch, I used something along the line of "switch it > on/off", but do we have something else? For the switch, I refer to it like this: * Switch <gui>Bluetooth</gui> on. * Switch <gui>Bluetooth</gui> off. It's the simplest, most direct way I can think of. For the +/- buttons, I've been using just the + and - characters in <gui> tags. I'm not entirely happen with that. I would say we should take the accessible name into account, but many of these +/- buttons don't have accessible names right now: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660023 I'm open to suggestions. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
