GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 432066
tracker-search-tool SVN usability details
Last modified: 2010-03-03 15:59:25 UTC
here is a small review I did of tracker-search-tool (today's SVN version). It may seem unimportant at first sight, but these are some fine details that need to be fixed for the gui to look "classy" (otherwise, it looks a bit broken). They are usually some very small glitches (extra borders where there is no need for, especially), so I think fixing them would be easy (but I'm no programmer so I may be saying nonsense). I hope it helps :)
Created attachment 86756 [details] user interface review if you need an SVG version, just ask ;)
Thanks for the detailed criticism - I would never have noticed all that I will be fixing all of these issues shortly
Jamie, did you see bug #416068 ? There is an alternate UI (side pane based) proposal for T-S-T.
Some of these glitches are fixed/removed in latest svn will investigate the find button size - its in a GtkTable btw
(In reply to comment #4) > > will investigate the find button size - its in a GtkTable btw > It's the "right" behavior. The text entry should vertically expand to fill the gap, but GtkEntry seems unable to do it. Try playin with glade. BTW a table? Why not a simple hbox?
well g-s-t and beagle have the sam issue with the find button - its bigger than the text entry because the icon in it is big its a table because its copied from g-s-t and we might want an advanced expander below it
The remaining issue no longer applies to the rewrite of t-s-t.
