Hi. "However, there are many more issues with the property-panel visuals than just the triangles, including the out-of-alignment section-checkboxes, the busy diagonal drag-handles, and unclear panel disable indication."
I agree. "Rather than one-offing just one of these issues, it's worth the effort to make a clean and consistent refinement proposal which fixes them all." I agree, however this is patch which can be commited, this is not UI design. Adding all the proposals to one patch at the same time, i think this maybe problematic. The longer a patch doesnt get committed, the more out of sync it becomes. So if the patch is big, its a big load of code to maintain. Where possible, I think its better to add the proposals one at a time with different patches. This way, its easier maintain, easier to review the code, and quicker to implement. Ill add, that code to disable the triangle, and code to draw a 3 point triangle or 2 different icons, would be different, thus this could also be a different patch. ... I know there is more than just triangle code with harleys UI designs. I would love to code more of the proposals harley made, or help with code research. So far i see no reason why this patch should not be committed. This patch is progress towards the UI designs on the thread. koil > Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:04:08 -0700 > From: dav...@gmail.com > To: bf-committers@blender.org > Subject: Re: [Bf-committers] Patch: Panel Show Triangle > > On Wednesday, July 10, 2013, Sean Olson wrote: > > > I see user settings and theme options as completely different.
