I'm just going by the animated image, but it looks
good. A possible contender in the wider 'tabs are
evil' debate?
Both approaches can be abused, I think; mine is just an
extension of a collapsible toolbar control which has
appropriate uses just like any other...
Some suggestions:
- remove the summary when the box is expanded, to
avoid having information repeated
Good idea.
- 'Pages', 'Copies', etc, should change in some way so
they look like headings of the expanded box.
I was wondering about using a separator line; the current
widget uses the web-style rounded box outline, so a flat line
would be appropriate. For a more typical raised box appearance,
a "groove" line might be used. See the attached screenshot.
- line up the start of the summaries of collapsed
boxes ('Letter', 'All pages' etc)
I'm not sure how that would look - the arrow might look out of
place or misaligned.
And the HIG specifies the Print button should be on
the right ;)
The *GNOME* HIG, yes. Feel free to put the buttons in the wrong
order in yours... :)
