Re: [GNC] Reconcile Finish button
Right on the confirmation dialog, because there are plenty enough threads here from those who dismissed them permanently as a nuisance and months/years later report they weren't warned when making an edit.

Re: [GNC] Reconcile Finish button
That's Google being 'helpful' by 'suggesting' substitutions so as not to be allegedly offensive. I guess it reads okay, but that doesn't mean it conveys what you intended. (I wonder, does it edit *incoming* mail too?) Since you brought up visual impairment, the choice of Green is a really bad one. Some percentage of the population can't perceive Green, nor differentiate it from Red. To them, both colors looks like shades of Gray. This would still be a visual indicator, but which one, Red or Green? Good to Go, or Stop-Error? I personally think the simple inactive-to-active change is fine.

Yeah. I've never liked the "Contextually-sensitive" delete button. I still hesitate before clicking it, even after 17 years!

Re: [GNC] Reconcile Finish button
The Reconcile Finish button is not the only button which is inactive when it's named function cannot be performed. I think it would be confusing if one button's appearance took a different style than others. Already, in some cases, the icon or button is invisible when it is non-functional, and in other cases it is grayed out. GnuCash has the further confusion that some buttons change their function depending on where in the transaction view the cursor happens to be sitting, which could be very confusing to persons with visual impairment.

Re: [GNC] Reconcile Finish button
I haven't tested this today, but my recollection is that the Finish button is inactive until the difference is zero. In older versions of Gnucash, this difference was clearer, but more recent gui toolkits seem to have altered how it looks, so that it isn't as obvious. My point in mentioning this is to note that the evaluation is already in code, so adding a command to change the button color at the same time may not be a significant request. Note that I said "may." David On May 10, 2022 11:38:06 PM EDT, Adrien Monteleone wrote: >You can file an RFE (Request for Enhancement) on Bugzilla.
