Format page: visually indicate excluded columns in the preview
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
In the thrid panel of the text import druid, the preview area itself does not provide any indicator that a column's content is to be excluded. The lack of a check mark on the column header could be complemented by altering the visual look of the column. This change could include turning the text to light grey, shading the background of the column (which would not be visible when the column was selected) or providing a hash pattern in the background (although the spacing of the hash lines would have to be wide to avoid noise and moire effects on the screen). This would re-enforce the role of the checkmark which might otherwise be confused as a way to select the columns for formating. --adrian
Re-titling. (It's the fourth page actually in the sense that there are three pages that comes before it.)
The problem with shading, hash patern etc. is that we don't know how the originally columns look nor what the dolour of the text is. All of that depends on the theme.
SInce colours, hash patterns etc. may collide with the theme, I have adjusted cvs head to strike through the text that is not being imported.
