Help Icon #26

Closed toby63 closed 4 years ago

toby63 commented 4 years ago

We maybe want to add a help icon in the configuration options, to show additional information (e.g. regarding echo-cancel etc.). For a first concept see: https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/4127#issuecomment-637568229

Maybe someone could provide a good looking icon that is also consistent with the overall theme.

This should be in the mumble repository, no? The theme only visually styles stuff. It does not introduce or remove controls.

I would much rather have a descriptive label or intro text in the groubbox than a help button that needs an entire row of space anyway.

I would also prefer a ticket to be self-sufficient. If you want to reference issues why not link them directly?

Thats the request here. But you are right, maybe we should open another issue in the main repo to implement help buttons in general.

We (or I) would add more than just one sentence to describe the functionality, so I disagree that this should be shown by default. Help buttons are a good solution imo, they are also used in many other programs.

This ticket is not specific or actionable.

What specifically do you want this ticket to represent? What specifically are you asking for or suggesting here in the mumble-theme context?

Exactly what I already said. A graphical symbol (help symbol) could be created, that fits the style of the general theme. This can be used as a skin for the help button itself (seperate issue (that I have not created yet)).

I don’t think this ticket is actionable then. It’s unclear what for, and who would do this. As it is an icon could be created or chosen and then not be used. We can do that once the idea and commitment to it being used is stronger.
