Window layout adjustments
Last modified: 2018-05-22 12:29:42 UTC
Some obvious issues with the layout of the window: * The block preview area should always be visible when it is enabled (this gives stability and predictability to the window) * The block preview area needs a heading to make it clear what it is. "Next" is the conventional label. * Score, lines and level could look much nicer - I would suggest arranging them vertically, with different font sizes and colours (see mockup) * The padding to each side of the score / line / level adjusts as you change the width of the window. This results in odd looking padding. I would keep the padding between the game area and the details fixed. If possible, the padding to the right hand side of the details should only be adjusted when maximising. https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/games/quadrapassel/quadrapassel.png
"The block preview area should always be visible when it is enabled (this gives stability and predictability to the window)" Isn't this the case? In master and 3.10, the preview area is removed if the preview is disabled or hard block mode is enabled (this dependency is made clear by disabling the preview-checkbox on enabling hard block mode). Having the preview area enabled but showing no preview was considered a bug and fixed in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700720 / https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669624 With that in mind, could you go into more detail how this design should be implemented?

Hi Mario! Sorry, I could have been clearer - I was referring to the initial state before you start playing. After you have started, the preview area appears and the score, lines and level details move down.
I work on that as we go along. I changed the text layout of the sidebar and the preview area is now always visible if it is enabled (only when it is available). The changes have just been pushed to master and you can look at it right now and it will also be included in the next unstable release (3.11.2) tomorrow. Mario
Even though the whole layout change will take some time, I've added a frame to the preview area that says "Next:". I think this is an improvement. This change will be in 3.11.3. I will attach a screenshot of the current build.

(In reply to comment #5) > Created an attachment (id=260294) [details] > Screenshot of current build Looks great! I gave master a try a few days ago and it is really good. Removing the colons after the heading labels, and dimming them (making the color a bit darker) would look better.
