Hi list,
Those who have seen the drafts for the new UI, codename "Larry", may have noticed that Roundcube will have combined icon & text toolbar buttons. Now the existing text labels for the toolbar buttons are way too long to be displayed inline. They worked perfect as hover-titles but need to be shorter for the inline display. And I'm uncertain how to approach this change. We could either do one of the following:
A) Change the existing labels to shorter versions
- There's at least something displayed in every language
- Most of the translations need to be updated with shorter versions
- Hard for a translator to find the labels which need to be shortened
- No alternative longer hover-titles on the buttons or new labels have
to be created for that
B) Define new labels for the short button texts and keep the existing ones as hover-titles
- Perfect description of a toolbar button with icon, text and
description (hover)
- Easy to "track" that new translations are required as launchpad will
show many "untranslated texts"
- Texts will be missing in all translations and English versions will
be displayed until translated
I slightly tend to B) because there are more positive aspects even if it probably takes longer until all the translations are updated to form a perfect new UI.
Any votes, opinions or gripes are welcome!
Best, Thomas _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/ BT/aba52c80
