Yes but if you don't allow the user to make a mistake at the first place
then there's no need for a warning. This is less confusing for the user
than throwing a warning at him and letting him figure out what mistake he
did.
The user is saying "I want wmaker to ignore the client icon and use the
icon I set up for it". But at the same time he's not saying which icon
wmaker is supposed to use instead (ie empty textbox).
So the user should only be able to say this when it's meaningful to say
so (i.e. there's an icon set and not otherwise).
So I think the option should only be enabled when the file textbox is
set and disabled if the user removes the file.
No, the option should be enabled when the user ticks the option and
disabled otherwise. It's supposed to be simple and have no correlation
to the textbox.
However, if the user ticks the 'ignore' option but does not define
which icon to use, that's a mistake and it better be warned. No?
I think there's a misunderstanding here. By disabled I mean "greyed out",
not selectable, inactive, etc. (cf. WMSetButtonEnabled and
WMSetButtonSelected). The Ignore option and thus the switch button does
have a correlation to the textbox as it's only meaningful to select it if
there's an icon set. So it should not be active if it's invalid to select
it. Does this make sense?
