Usability issue - error dialog

2003-02-11 Thread Adam Byrtek / alpha
Error dialogs (for example 'File exists' dialog) are displayed in red,
and the hotkeys are NOT highlighted, so the user don't know which key
to use. One could easily confuse 'Append' (P hotkey) with 'Abort' (A
hotkey).

Maybe we should display corresponging hotkeys in yellow?

Regards

Hello!

Yes, something needs to be done about it.  Right now, there is only one
color allocated specifically for error messages.  I've added this to the
TODO list.

The problem is that the current code doesn't scale well.  Every time you
add a new color, the translations need to be updated (look for
print_color_usage in main.c).  A better solution would be to move colors
to mc.lib and remove the complete listing from the executable.
