Cellular HTML5: need default cell attribute?

[aidanlane]

It's a pain for first time users if not. What did the desktop version do?

"Default" as a name works for me- how about you @mciotola and @berndmeyer?

not sure I get the context of the question (sorry, unable to log onto Github, my password is on my laptop which will only return to me tomorrow :) Anyway, it appears the issue has been closed already.

Matt, thanks for helping out with this. It's about time we closed off this branch (cellular / scribble) but do be able to do that we first need to get them into Alexandria...

Best,

Bernd

Hi Bernd,

It had to do with the need for a default cell attribute in Cellular.

The desktop version had one called "CellAttr1", which meant that the user could start using it straight away, including paining the default state of it.

The HTML version didn't have this at all. So Matt added it. The question is though: what should it be called? Currently it's "default". Should it instead be "Default Attribute", "Default Cell Attribute" (too long!?), "CellAttr1" (cryptic?!).

Thanks, A

"Default" works for me. Probably not worth worrying too much about? You won't find a name that suits all.

I liked "CellAttr1", unless it works to spell it out. Default implies certain preset qualities that cannot be changed unless a new attribute is created.

After reviewing the Flat design, I am strenuously for "CellAttr1". Although the pulldown menu below the stage has no label, "CellAttr1" indicates the purpose of that menu.

I agree with "CellAttr1". An added (albeit small) benefit: it provides a nicer bridge from the desktop version.

Matt- when would you have a chance to work on this again? Thanks, A

[aidanlane]

Also, it should be selected by default in the combo-box so that user can draw with it straight away. Oh and can you set the colour of it to red, instead of grey? Thanks Matt!

Thanks Matt!
