GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 118890
"Color background" should perhaps be "Background color" in gnome-applets

#: mini-commander/src/mini-commander.schemas.in.h:2 msgid "Color background blue component" #: mini-commander/src/mini-commander.schemas.in.h:3 msgid "Color background green component" #: mini-commander/src/mini-commander.schemas.in.h:4 msgid "Color background red component" #: mini-commander/src/mini-commander.schemas.in.h:5 msgid "Color foreground blue component" #: mini-commander/src/mini-commander.schemas.in.h:6 msgid "Color foreground green component" #: mini-commander/src/mini-commander.schemas.in.h:7 msgid "Color foreground red component" "Color background" seems very weird. Shouldn't it be "background color" in proper English? The same is applicable to "color foreground". Perhaps these messages should be rewritten to something like: "Green foreground color component" etc.
How about "Green component of foreground color"? I agree that the current text is poor.
Excellent. Note that changing this now would break string freeze.
These should go into 2.5.x
Currently, the definitions in short and long are as follows: <short>Color foreground green component</short> <long>The green compoent of the foreground color.</long> Now, if we are to change the short message, we have following choices: 1) "Green foreground color component" 2) "Green component of foreground color" Somehow, I feel the short definition which goes closest to the long counterpart: "The green compoent of the foreground color", is "Foreground color green component". However, this is just my opinion, and I would like to create the patch based on your decision.
Hello, I'm one of the maintainers of the Help for this applet. I think either of the following would be fine: <short>Foreground color, green component</short> <short>Foreground color: green component</short> Btw, I presume the misspelling in the <long> text above is just a typo in this bug, and not in the applet? <long>The green component of the foreground color.</long> ^ Regards, Breda.
Yeah, I like <short>Foreground color, green component</short> as well.
Sounds good to me, too. I will attach a patch shortly.
Created attachment 21790 [details] [review] Patch fixes this bug.
I am not able to add the PATCH keyword since I get a permission error. How do I get this permission?

Fixed in the cvs head.
