Re: [Sugar-devel] [Feature] [DESIGN] Enhanced Color Selector

  Click to change stroke color: =  Outline
  Click to change fill color: =  Body


These are OK (ie, I vote -0), but personally, I'd go with Outline and
Fill. I think that kids understand fill just as well, and it has the
advantage of being the more technically-correct term.

 The proposal looks great. May I suggest a revision to the string literals?

 Click to change stroke color: =  Outline
 Click to change fill color: =  Body

 Stroke/Fill are terms of art in vector drawing area. My guess is that the
 terms outline and body (when looking at the XO figure) may be more natural.

I guess this is right, stroke/fill are technical terms. Maybe 
Inline/Outline would work, too?

 I feel we can omit Click to change or replace it with Choose. I'm pretty
 sure it'll be obvious by exploration that clicking on the little XOs changes
 the big one.

Choose sounds good to me, too.

Thanks,
Simon

We may not even need the instruction at all. I think just using
Body: and Outline: labels could suffice.

Good suggestions,
Eben

[Sugar-devel] [Feature] [DESIGN] Enhanced Color Selector

2010-02-02 Thread Simon Schampijer
Hi,

a lot of work has been going into enhancing the color selector [1]. The 
mockups can be seen at [2].

Now we should settle on one design and land it if possible. Would be a 
pity we would fail when we are so close. I think the latest designs 
brings us a big step forward, when you think about the current design.

In the design meeting and the ml-thread the '+' layout and the rows of 
XOs were favored. Eben brought as well the 'static rows with separated 
fill/stroke' on the table. Let's try to find an agreement.

Thanks,
Simon
