Description Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-10-07 08:30:01 UTC
Some of these are covered in other bugs, but i think that its useful to
list them here too. My comments are in brackets.

heres the link

----------------------

Here the basic changes to the browser appearance have been made.

    * The page icon is displayed in the location entry. Unlike the other
items on the toolbar which are usually flat, the icon doesn't respond to
clicks. Placement in the entry makes the association between the icon and
URL more obvious. Most page icons are probably designed for Microsoft
Internet Explorer which places them in the entry, so it may often look
better there. [note i already have a bug open for this]
    * The icon when none is provided is either the application icon, or no
icon at all. A blending of the application icon and the default document
icon may be better still.
    * The location entry's drop-down list button is displayed flat as are
the other buttons on the toolbar. This will surely require modification of
Gtk+. [Not of high concern to us at this time imo.]
    * The lock icon has been moved to the left-hand side of the statusbar
to allow for a resize grip on the right hand side. It may also be more
visible there given proximity to the main menu on the panel.
    * The bevel around the lock icon has been changed to match that of the
statusbar. This function can be used to retrieve the data.

      GtkShadowType
      statusbar_get_shadow_type (Statusbar *statusbar)
      {
        GtkShadowType shadow_type;
        gtk_widget_style_get (GTK_WIDGET (statusbar), "shadow_type",
&shadow_type, NULL);
        return shadow_type;
      }
    * The statusbar is blank, as there is no activity to report. The change
from the spinning arrow animation (below) indicates the page has completely
loaded. [agree for the most part, knowing the amount of the page loaded
isn't really useful in most cases anyway]
    * The progress bar has been removed.
    * With the lock icon now on the left, the resize grip is displayed on
the right-hand side of the statusbar. [totally a good thing]

Another change might be to show the application name in the titlebar when
no page is loaded. [ehh..maybe Web Browser would be best :P]



Feedback Changes

Here the browser is loading the page "Some URL".

    * The title bar only says "Loading...". That might be better with the
URL indicated, then the page title indicated.
    * No page icon is displayed until the page has loaded. Instead, the
arrows spin as the page loads.

Not shown here is the window icon. It should always match the page icon
shown in the entry, even when that is the spinning arrows. [ way cool]

With the arrows indicating progress, the throbber can be eliminated.


-------------------------------------------------------------------
I basically completely agree with his suggestions, in particular the
suggestion about how to get rid of the throbber is quite good.

Comment 2 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-10-25 08:10:01 UTC
you would think doing the statusbar work on this would be easy,
unfortunately I think the the resize handle for the statusbar is
painted instead of packed into the statusbar. This sucks because if i
try to pack the progressbar at the end it ends up ontop of the resize
handle...uggghhhh.....
