[TC 10.50b5] Options - Edit/View

[white]

Doesn't this look odd with the two buttons not ending at the same position?

No, it helps the brain to understand that one button is indented, so a sub option of External viewer.

Maybe I should make the "configure internal viewer" button a bit wider so it ends at the same position as the "Associations" button?

Doesn't it already do that ? See: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/editview3.png

I proposed a different one and Ghisler was responding to that.

• I think the dialog becomes more clear if you don't stretch the buttons to full length like you have done now in beta 6.
• And I think it is more readable if you indent at the other places too, not only under "Hotkeys".
• There could be a bit more margin at the right within the groupbox border.
• Here is another mockup showing what I mean.

Yes, I meant the width of the "configure internal viewer" button in white's mock-up. What do you think?

[petermad]

I think I like Whites shorter buttons better.

[ghisler(Author)]

That's not the question here, I already made them shorter.
The question is whether the buttons "Configure internal viewer" and "Associations" should have the same width, or the same end position. I think it looks odd with the same width.

[petermad]

Definitely the same width and alignment

It's still not clear what you mean. Do you mean the same alignment as in my mockup or do you want the buttons aligned? In case of the latter, where do you position them?

In my mockup I indented the options under a header, consistent with what was done under the "Hotkeys:" header. The first button doesn't have a header so I placed that button on the main level.

What do you think is the best alignment? The same as my mockup or different? In case of the latter, please describe the alignment of each option.

[petermad]

Tough to say, but I lean towards that the two buttons are aligned to each other at the left - that could mean either add indentation to the "Configure internal viewer" button or remove indentation from the "Associations" button - I think indenting the "Configure internal viewer" button will look the best.

[ghisler(Author)]

I think indenting the "Configure internal viewer" button will look the best.

That sounds like a good idea, I will try that in beta 7.

[petermad]

I think it looks good in TC 10.50b7

Both buttons are set to exactly 2 pixels higher than the edit boxes. What you see is a rounding error when resizing the dialog. This cannot be avoided, sorry.

I agree.

Well, all screenshots so far show the lower button too low. If the rounding error is that consistent you can compensate for that for the lower button, can't you?
