Description Adrian Custer 2004-09-30 10:49:51 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.

Re-titling.  (It's the fourth page actually in the sense that there are three
pages that comes before it.)
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2004-10-01 04:13:26 UTC
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. 
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2004-10-20 05:59:27 UTC
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.
