Patch to add ellipsis characters to some menu items (2.81 KB, patch)

Description Dave Malcolm 2005-12-13 06:23:46 UTC
From the GNOME HIG:
"Command items are menu items that initiate a command or perform an action, such
as Save, Print or Quit. They may act on the currently active document in a
document based application, or on the application itself." ... "Label the menu
item with a trailing ellipsis ("...") only if the command requires further input
from the user before it can be performed. Do not add an ellipsis to items that
only present a confirmation dialog (such as Delete), or that do not require
further input (such as Properties, Preferences or About)." (see
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-design.html#menu-grouping 


Based on the above, I think the following items in the mailer should have
trailing ellipsis characters:
