Public bug reported: Reading the current documentation there is no real guidance on how to layout buttons in Dialogs.
The "design vision" section 4. [1] mentions "Positive actions always go on the right, negative on the left", which suggests an horizontal alignment for the buttons, but the building blocks section [2] doesn't mention the topic and the uitk defaults to stacking things vertically, including the API example [3], while the uitk-gallery example program does show an horizontal layout by stacking its button in a row (if that's recommended way, the API example should perhaps reflect that?) Those lacks lead our applications to be inconsistant, e.g the delete confirmations actions in gallery or camera have there delete/don't button vertically stacked, is that the correct way? http://design.ubuntu.com/apps/getting-started/design-vision http://design.ubuntu.com/apps/building-blocks/dialog https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/qml/sdk-14.04/Ubuntu.Components.Popups.Dialog/ ** Affects: ubuntu-brand-guidelines Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu-ux Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ubuntu-brand-guidelines Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ubuntu-ux Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-ui-toolkit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1426471 Title: Guideline/documentation has no layout recommendation for buttons in dialogs Status in Ubuntu Brand Guidelines: New Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: New Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Reading the current documentation there is no real guidance on how to layout buttons in Dialogs.
