GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 727804
Address book dialog - design updates
Last modified: 2014-04-10 19:48:13 UTC
The design of the address book dialog needed tightening up a bit. Specific issues with it: * "Primary Contacts Account" is ambiguous, and isn't consistent with the app menu item. Change it to: "Change Address Book". * "Done" button should be insensitive until the address book is changed (this is an action dialog - http://wiki.gnome.org/Design/HIG/Dialogs). * Reduce the padding around the list - I think this is neater. * Use the address book icon for the local address book (people won't know what a hard drive looks like). * Add an explanation for how the dialog works. There are also a few small UI issues with the version in 3.12: * Header bar buttons are too tall - they should have the regular button height. * The title and the subtitle of each account are a bit far from each other. It doesn't look tidy. Updated mockup: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/edf29350917fdd12d9125741971a5f59e90eb1c4/contacts/png/accounts-dialog.png

Thanks for working on this, Yosef. The text in the screenshot you posted to bug 727910 is missing the word "other": https://bug727910.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=273926 Also, I spotted a design error: the button should read "Change" rather than "Done".
Fixed in master. Pushed here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-contacts/commit/?id=29268955d0d01e6ad963cccf7b7835fcb9a23b18
