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
