Hi ! I've made a pull request that induces some changes in the Composer's items GUI. If you are interested, please have a look (feedback is of course welcome) :
https://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS/pull/426 Best regards, Olivier #################################################### The differencesQToolBox replaced by QCollapsibleGroupBox(es). *before* - a lot of wasted space - unpractical (you must toggle back and forth to edit elements on different pages) - not very good looking (it looks messy and it's hard to distinguigh from QDockWindowss) *after* - QgsCollapsibleGroupBoxes look great and provide a nice outline of all features when folded - Easier to adapt to your needs and screen size QToolBox replaced by QCollapsibleGroupBox(es). - so you can dynamically reposition/resize the items without having to open a modal dialog. - also provides a nice feedback on element's position Harmonisation and optimisation of widget layouts - most of the widgets had uneven spacing (looked a bit sketchy) - some widgets where uselessly big - better hiearchy and grouping of similar options Duplicate/Ambigious/Unclear functionalities - QgsComposerShape had duplicate implemtation of frame and background Changes The work was mainly done in the .ui files, but some classes are a little more modified : - QgsComposerShape (clean duplicate frame/background implementation) - QgsItemPositionDialog was merged into QgsComposerItemWidget, which also makes some change Screenshots Here are screenshots of all modified widgets : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gkte3o126doe4ue/YfN_iVxRKx Todo - I think it would be nice to integrate the atlas' widget into the composition's widget - It would be nice if there was a collapse/expand all button (or a shortcut (alt-click ?) to collapse all other QgsCollapsibleBoxes) - Use color buttons wherever possible So... What do you think ?
