That also makes the text bigger, and puts both the icon and the name in the "realm of the editable", i.e. in the central or right-hand area looking at the screenshot on http://screenshots.debian.net/package/gnome-control-center and near the other controls. Quite a subtle hint, really. I'm not sure we can use the same placement, because the information hierarchy is different: the control center uses its left-hand list to choose a user to edit: we use that area to choose a brush setting to edit, belonging to the current brush. The rollover can possibly be done using GTK_RELIEF_NONE and a regular button. > I feel like you may have your RTLs and LTRs mixed up here. English is LTR. Hah! I really should learn to proof-read these things before sending. Correcting my earlier screwup: * Delete: bottom left (SW) * Rename and Edit Icon: integrate with the icon preview and the name label. - Make the icon a normal-looking button, and the name "label" a rollover button, maybe... * Save: Bottom right (SE) * Copy to New: bottom right, near Save (SE) * Live Update: top right?

Okay, so perhaps that could be a [Save][Save as New] cluster. I think it'd be a good idea to rename "Copy to New", if it's taking the role of a specialized save button. -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ Mypaint-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
