Hello, is there a way to show field descriptions by default as it was in 4.5, and possibly change its look?
In my opinion current mechanism fails on many levels from UX point of view: 1. You dont see description of fields right away (or ideally when you edit the field) 2. When you know you want to see some hint (generally users never do), you dont find any hint button next to the field, you have to be as persistent as to look to the upright corner and click the hint button there. 3. This just shows you more hint buttons, which finally show the decription (why so many steps?) 4. Description has really big padding, isnt aligned with field vertically and you can't tell if it belongs to the field above or under the message, because it has the equal margins and triangle is almost invisible. Actually it has even bigger margin from field it belongs to then from the other one. It would be great if this was configurable, so the description is shown at all times, or at least hint icon next to the fields are shown at all times. Maybe you meant descriptions for a little different use case, we need to inform the users about field purpose, its meaningful values, etc, and for this current description mechanism is almost unusable (we won't have permanent editors, some of the just ocassional, always someone new, so the descriptions are important). Btw I love new M5:) -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=92cc79e0-5a76-46ea-a8b5-9d0bd4612ea9 ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
