Make headings bold in message dialogs by default
Last modified: 2012-08-30 18:10:48 UTC
Created attachment 222888 [details] message dialog with no secondary text (before) Currently we only make headings bold in message dialogs if the caller adds secondary text. I think it would be better if the dialogs would consistently use boldface for the headings since they are always headings and shouldn't vary in weight. However, I think it probably makes sense to continue to only make the primary heading <big> when there is a secondary label shown. The logic to me is that bold is for headings. Both dialogs with and without secondary text have headings. The <big> may be useful for differentiating primary and secondary text but it is unnecessary with only one label. And visually I think that without the boldface the text gets lost in the window (particularly when there is a dialog image) and the eye isn't propertly guided to the question they need to answer. It feels wrong.
Created attachment 222889 [details] [review] Always make primary headings bold in message dialogs Unless they have markup. But only use big text if there is secondary text.
Created attachment 222890 [details] message dialog with no secondary text (after)
Jakub, what do you think?
I agree
Review of attachment 222889 [details] [review]: ok then. I think this may cause some minor fallout in application message dialogs, but I guess we will hear about that
