I still haven't found time to fill proper bug reports but some l10n are expanding preferences dialogs a lot, and moreover, initial dialog placement is done before all tabs size are know, causing the correctly sized dialog to not be centered. -- Frederic Crozat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mandriva ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
[Evolution-hackers] Reorganize Evolution's preferences dialog
I'm running Evolution 2.9.3 with a 1024x768 screen resolution and Evolution's Preferences dialog barely fits on my screen. I had an idea on how we might shrink this down a bit by reorganizing some tabs. I'm not proposing a complete overhaul of the preferences at this time, just some minor changes that I think can be accomplished before Evolution 2.10 ships. The General tab of the Mail Preferences section currently defines the size of the Preferences dialog, so the goal is to reduce the contents of this tab. My suggestions are: 1) There is both a Calendar and Tasks section and a Mail Preferences section with a Calendar and Tasks tab. Eliminate the tab in the Mail Preferences section as follows: a) Move the Delete message after acting option to the General tab in the Calendar and Tasks section. b) Move the conflicts options to a new Conflicts tab in the Calendar and Tasks section. 2) Add a new section called Contacts and make the Autocompletion section a tab within the Contacts section. 3) Move the Automatic Contacts tab in the Mail Preferences section to the new Contacts section. Maybe rename the tab to General? 4) With the number of tabs in the Mail Preferences section now diminished, split the mail notification options in the General tab to a new Notification tab. Voilà, shrinkage! Comments? Other ideas? Matthew Barnes ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

I think if you add Conflicts tab to calendar prefs, the number of tabs would increase and it may start controlling the width. For that we can also remove the Free/Busy tab in Calendar and Tasks and add merge it with calendar publishing by renaming the tab as Publishing. Both these tab mean free/busy and calendar publishing. 2) Add a new section called Contacts and make the Autocompletion section a tab within the Contacts section. This is pretty cool. 3) Move the Automatic Contacts tab in the Mail Preferences section to the new Contacts section. Maybe rename the tab to General? 4) With the number of tabs in the Mail Preferences section now diminished, split the mail notification options in the General tab to a new Notification tab. Cool.
