Hi everybody,

as might have noticed I am going through the modules and try to apply
the YaST style guide to them.
First of all I want to thank all of you who are willing to apply the
proposals. Especially as it is Beta/RC time for openSUSE 11.1 and SLE 11
, so many of you are busy with things that have more priority than
button labeling :-)

The next issue I want to raise is the really abort library
(http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL11.1/modules/Popup.html#ReallyAbort)
which according to my information is used when the user made changes in
a module and closes the module.

Currently there are the following usability issues with this library:
* inconsistent use
* inconsistent text
* yes/no as button labels might confuse the user and should be avoided

So, my proposal would be
* use ReallyAbort only when the user made some changes in the module and
 clicks on cancel
* redesign the pop up into:
http://en.opensuse.org/Image:Ysg_discarding_changes_notbold.png

What do you think of the proposal?
Is it understandable?

For the redesign in general:
should I make a bug entry or a FATE entry or can be adjusted without any
of those two mechanisms?


Thanks and have a nice weekend,

Martin
