Description Jakub Steiner 2004-04-13 10:50:23 UTC
* gnome-icon-theme includes a special icon called
"stock_calendar-and-tasks.png".

General
-------

http://primates.ximian.com/~jimmac/product-design/Evolution/screenshots/calendar-an-tasks-general.png

Spacing, frame style and capitalization needs fixing. Some mnemonics are
missing and some are conflicting. The mockup above doesn't have a mnemonic
to acces the minutes/hours/days dropdown. "_before every appointment"
should be good.

In case the work days take too much horizontal space, it may be possible to
split Sat and Sun and have them in a new row.

“Ask for confirmation” is not real an Alert, that's why I suggest moving it
to a separate group. Also we may want to stop using the terms Alert and
Reminder when we refer to the same thing.

“Day Begins” and “Day Ends” fields have been put to separate rows, since
they make the dialog too wide.

Display
-------

http://primates.ximian.com/~jimmac/product-design/Evolution/screenshots/cat-display.png

The last set of controls (hiding completed tasks) is problematic since it
doesn't allow access using mnemonics. But at this point I don't have a
better suggestion.

Free/Busy Publishing
--------------------

The main dialog keeps the consistent layout seen elsewhere. However I
suggest aligning the button to the top edge to align with the list
(GtkTreeview?). 

I suggest dropping the Enable/Disable button since the check box toggle
alone seems obvious and it's confusing the button changes it's label
without being a toggle button (bug#256899).

The New/Edit dialog does not yet follow the HIG. Because the dialog was
very tall, I suggest merging the “Free/Busy Location” with “Publishing
Frequency” and using a drop down instead of radio boxes. Also I suggest
changing “User Publishes” to “Custom”.
The “Published Calendars” frame currently lists all Calendar sources,
including “Contacts” and “On the Web”. It may be appropriate to leave out
Web sources if technically doable.

as discussed with nags, changing component to "Misc" to get rid of the UI 
component, also reassign to Misc-assignee. adding UI keyword.

Created attachment 68903 [details] [review]
added the mnemonic for the start-timezone n the start-time widget

Also felt it ud be better to change the mnemonic for categories to Alt+c from Alt+t to avoid the mnemonic conflict between the categories n the time widgets
Comment 4 André Klapper 2006-07-19 13:30:47 UTC
arvind: but _Categories now conflicts with _Calendar.
hmm. perhaps _Calendar -> Calen_dar?

otherwise, your patch looks good to me.

All OBSOLETE in 3.2.3, except for:

> --------------------
> I suggest dropping the Enable/Disable button since the check box toggle
> alone seems obvious and it's confusing the button changes it's label
> without being a toggle button (bug#256899).

Still valid in 3.2.3, plus already done in Mailer Accounts too.

Also, "Template:" misses a mnemonic.

Both fixed with:
