Improve prefs view #13

Closed jgastonraoul closed 13 years ago

jgastonraoul commented 14 years ago

define layout constraints to fill the frame

acollign commented 14 years ago

I removed the title of the panel in prefs view. I think that it is useless and cause bad rendering. See 1890fae

acollign commented 14 years ago

is it OK for everybody ?

jgastonraoul commented 14 years ago

ok for that, but we still have to use a gridbag Layout to fill the frame...

jgastonraoul commented 14 years ago

moved to next release !

acollign commented 13 years ago

Finally, I suggest to do something now (for the 0.1 release) because I realize that adding the langage ui chooser produce really bad effects. There is a big mess of UI components.

I suggest to organize preferences in three categories :

  1. "General" that for the time only contains Langage preferences
  2. "ArtNetServer" that contains everything but the http server configuration
  3. "HTTP Server" that contains http configuration.

jgastonraoul commented 13 years ago

the new preferences view is really nice but there is always some strange layout behaviors...

acollign commented 13 years ago

Explanation and screenshots are welcome !

jgastonraoul commented 13 years ago

I think we can redistribute free space more harmoniously... Screenshot here : http://bayimg.com/naPiEaACp

acollign commented 13 years ago

We can probably do that, we certainly have to do... but I have no idea what is the best strategy to produce a more harmonious panel.

jgastonraoul commented 13 years ago

moved to the next release...

acollign commented 13 years ago

A part of what we talked here has been done. Need to review what must be finish in v0.2

acollign commented 13 years ago

Menu, Icons.... what can we do to have a better UI ? http://tango.freedesktop.org/images/2/20/Tango-feet.png

jgastonraoul commented 13 years ago

I'm not sure that the menu is a good idea (not very easy to use with touchscreens). But a toolbar with some shortcuts might be a good thing !

acollign commented 13 years ago

UI has now a toolbar and can be switched to full screen see related issues

acollign commented 13 years ago

Prefs pane has now 2 buttons to store and restore configuration. There are in the wrong panel and must be moved to the bottom of the tab.... but they're existing and that's a beginning (positive way of life)

jgastonraoul commented 13 years ago

Before release 0.2, we have to finish the following things for this issue :

acollign commented 13 years ago

Buttons has been moved to the bottom of the tab bb3b42cf52783ab6953beb5fdd251f6461325925 !

Change the layout of the pref pane to have a better UI experience (oh yeah). Closed by cd02eb36c554c1ea687e38aa0df8f08aec6c3b93
