I like: 1. Reduce Margins 2. Split buttons into groups 3. Reduce Min row height (could this be adjustable within a setting of QGIS?)
Disklike: "look for" should at least be "Search" or "Search for" Agree or Suggestion?: a simple >magnifying glass search icon< for a "Search" button OR - Simply selecting search parameters (or typing) automagically live searches (possible?) - Replace Search Button with an X button to clear search parameters a simple >magnifying glass search icon with +< for advanced search Onto a separate topic... You must know your way around Designer. I have been trying to figure out if it is possible to create an identity window that allows direct editing within it. I have only a couple hours after work to investigate, but between kids and the need for sleep I don't make much progress! ^_^ Thanks for your UI design remake, It is an improvement, and if searching can be activated LIVE then I agree a Search Button is really unnecessary. mars On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 12:54 AM, Nathan Woodrow <madman...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi all, > > Today I was looking at some different ways to redesign and optimize the > attribute table UI and have come up with a design that I think works well > but would like to get some feedback first. > > I have made two screenshots, showing the old and new dialog at the same > size and using the same Qt theme. > > Just a plain comparison screenshot : > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Plain.png > Comparison screenshot with notes : > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6170988/Noted.png > > The main things are: > > 1.
