Hi UX guys,
I've been poking around the code that is responsible for the color
schemes as found in
Tools -> Options... -> Appearance -> Color scheme
There is some terrible duplication of functionality with vcl going on
there, and I'd love to clean it up. On the way, I'd like to remove the
possibility to name the schemes, and switch between them.
My reasoning is that I doubt that a user is going to switch between
themes just according to her/his mood ;-) - I bet that most of the users
are happy with the default colors, and the rest will just tweak them
once, and be done with that for the rest of their life.
So - what is your view on that? OK for you to remove the Scheme combo
box + [Save...] and [Delete] buttons? Or do you have another approach
to this in mind?
In can imagine these scenarios, where saving a scheme might be useful,
but think they are unlikely:
(1) A school does not use individual accounts and need a way to quickly
change color settings for a visual disabled pupil. [I would advise the
school to give an account or a portable version to that pupil.]
(2) A user works on different places with the same account and monitors
and environments are very different.
(3) A user works with his personal settings but needs a quick change to
the defaults when creating tutorials.
Nevertheless I second the idea of removing the "scheme" option from the
dialog.
The shared macros contain a library "Gimmicks". Perhaps it is possible
to put saving current color settings and loading a stored version in a
module there? That library has already a tool to change user settings.
This problem shows again, that a division in a simple dialog for often
needed settings and an advanced dialog for power users and
administrators is needed.
Kind regards
Regina
