URL: http://gna.org/bugs/?21550 Summary: Make function of timeout / off label in UI more obvious somehow Project: Freeciv Submitted by: jtn Submitted on: Tue Jan 28 20:26:58 2014 Category: client Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: None Planned Release: ___ Details: I've seen a couple of people recently confused by the off label in the Freeciv interface (next to tax rates, government etc -- the bit that would show the timeout were it enabled). One on the forum http://forum.freeciv.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=17t=234, one on IRC. Single-player users will likely never enable the timeout, thus they'll never see it say anything other than off, so its function will not become evident. The obvious thing (in the Gtk clients at least) is a tooltip that appears when you hover over it saying Turn timeout is disabled or similar. What might it usefully say when there is a timeout? The obvious thing is the absolute value of TC (in some time zone), but I'm wary of that until we have a better story for getting the server and client in sync on this point (bug #20572 and friends) -- without that the client will look definitive and yet be wrong. So I'm inclined to leave it blank for now. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?21550 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
