Chat username change doesn't work for self #31

Closed antont closed 9 years ago

antont commented 9 years ago

I used the new dialog to set my name but also after it the autogenerated name remained in use when showing the messages to me -- the name does change in the user list, but not in the messages:

[010:28:07] fidemo-user1 is now known as Toni.
[010:28:26] fidemo-user1: hop

I think the same prob was there with the original dialog too.

Also the UI is a bit confusing with the OK & close buttons in the new dialog .. have to press both OK and then the red cross in the top-right corner, right? Should also the OK button close the popup?

Personally don't find the ok button confusing as there's no limit how many times username can be changed and the dialog is an info/start dialog, not a username setting dialog.

thanks - about the UI design with the ok & dialog buts here, I guess I was comparing it with the one here:

http://beta.adminotech.com/virtuaalioulu/

here the same button is both for acking the name & closing the dialog (doing login).

really I think 1 clicks required by the user to 'get in' (here: apply name & close the dialog) is better than 2. I don't see why someone would use the name changing feature in this dialog many times .. usually people just give the name and want to get in then (or just skip giving the name)

Maybe the best solution would be to remove the OK button altogether, i.e. apply the value in the line edit automatically.
