GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 97360
Icons should be at least as wide as high
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The icons in Nautilus (icons + text) immediately looked off to me. Not 'aesthically pleasing', some icons were narrower than they are wide. The button area should be at least as wide as it is high. As well as looking better, Slightly larger buttons will help usability (Fitts Law). I realise this may seem a remarkably pedantic thing to point out but it did strike me straight away and i bothered me enought to report this. (I asked Luis Villa on IRC and he said i may as well file it). To help illustarte my point in inlcude screenshots of Windows explorer and Mozilla, and you will notice that even thought the text labes are very short the button area is still at least as wide as it is high.
Created attachment 11941 [details] Windows explorer toolbar, notice the button area is quite wide
Created attachment 11942 [details] oops, the first one was the mozilla toolbar, this is in fact the microsoft windows explorer toolbar and agian the button area is at least as wide as it is high
