Description Mathias Brodala 2010-08-03 10:07:18 UTC 
A quite common feature in user interfaces is the display of a placeholder text in entry fields. This text is usually displayed slightly lighter wrt text color and disappears as soon as the entry field is focused. It re-appears if the entry field loses its focus unless something was entered.
