Title: Action Window Ugly
Post by: Platu on February 19, 2004, 06:03:57 pm: The new look of the Action window looks kinda ugly now. It looked much better in the previous build. Actually it looked best with the alternating row shading. Just my opinion.

I actually quite like it. It somehow looks more compact now.

I don't think it's kind of ugly, I think it is infact totally ugly. Blech! I loved the look of it in .73, but new one is not good at all.

I definitive disagree. Now the proportions are perfect. Before AW was way to dominant. Just compare the icons in the toolbar to these in AW. Now they almost comply.

Post by: Herakles on February 20, 2004, 10:04:20 am: It depends of the skin used... i think it looks really great on the Z skin but is ugly with Blue Steel... Some changes on Blue Steel could probably help a lot with the new design of the AW.

Related Q...

Is it possible to have tooltips pop up (in Tag Info) on fields whose values exceed the column width ONLY? They are somewhat annoying on untruncated fields.

I end up playing a game of "catch the window" with my mouse.

Post by: dragyn on February 22, 2004, 02:07:50 pm: I think the action window would look better non uppercase and just bold, like the headers in the pane view. It just seems like too big of lettering down there.

Thanks gpvillamil.

Agree on the uppercase in the Action Window - it is the only place in MC that all caps is used, and it looks out of place.
