forwarded message below is there a better way? can we avoid having greyed out widgets entirely in this specific case?
I'm having difficulty coming up with anything, maybe the task could be changed to be something more like "Revoke my key" so that it is implicit that nothing will happen if the key is not their own. I guess I would have to take a much closer look at Seahorse to know if this could be reorganised to avoid the issue entirely. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2005 08:20:41 -0500 From: jim Pharis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Alan Horkan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Usability] Context sensitive buttons I am working on trying to redo the properties dialog for Seahorse public key manager. The options such as Revoke aren't available when its not your key. Users might not understand why they can't revoke the key though. My suggestion was to remove the button all together from properties window when its not your key, however, that seems to go against another HIG.
