'''DONE''' by Agustin Zubiaga
 +
 +
Maze:
 +
* Move the activity name entry to the main toolbar.
 +
* Move the share button after the activity name entry like in the other activities.
 +
 +
Measure:
 +
* Replace the lips icon, with the microphone like in Record. '''DONE''' by Walter
 +
 +
Read:
 +
* Use paired icons for Next/Previous, like in Browse
 +
* The index button can use a RadioMenuButton to show the options in the combo,
 +
and avoid use a subtoolbar only to this combo.
 +
* Remove the invisible separator before the star icon.
 +
 +
Record:
 +
* May be replace the combos with the icons by RadioMenuButtons?
 +
 +
Speak:
 +
* Replace the last icon (robot) by the spanner.
 +
* Improve the mode icons, the lightbulb icon should be a robot.
 +
* Change invisible separator after the Activity icon to visible separator.
 +
 +
TamTamEdit
 +
* The Record button cen be removed, and move the Save to ogg button to the activity toolbar,
 +
changing the icon to a export sound icon.
 +
* What is the function of the save keyboard button.
 +
* The volumen/tempo button in the configuration subtoolbar can be moved to the main toolbar.
 +
* The palette in the spanner in the configuration subtoolbar, can be moved to the spanner
 +
in the main toolbar, then we can remove the subtoolbar and avoid duplicating the icon.
 +
 +
TamTamJam:
 +
* The "Mute loops" icon is not very intuitive. Looks like mute speakers icon.
 +
* We should unify the design of the volume/tempo palettes with TamTamEdit:
 +
no strings, put icons on the left of the Adjustement widgets.
 +
* The collections should be left aligned.
 +
 +
TamTamSynthLab:
 +
* The rounded clear icon to clear the desktop, should be the rectangular clear icon, like in Paint '''DONE''' by Walter
 +

Terminal:
 +
* Use the same style in the tabs as Browse. #3354

2. Follow the previous group with tool widgets that are custom for the given activity (buttons, combo boxes, labels, etc).  They may be separated in groups adding separators.  Put the more important tools at the beggining, on the left (for example the radio buttons in Record that change the recording mode).  (TODO: put buttons with subtoolbars on the left?)

+1 to the smaller box and square arrows, but as per above, I think the changeable graphic needs to be larger.

Proposal for consistency in toolbar elements order and grouping

1. Group the following buttons at the left of the toolbar: Activity, Edit and View buttons, in that order, adding a separator after them. Edit and View buttons may not be present for a given activity.

2. Follow the previous group with tool widgets that are custom for the given activity (buttons, combo boxes, labels, etc). They may be separated in groups adding separators. Put the more important tools at the beggining, on the left (for example the radio buttons in Record that change the recording mode). (TODO: put buttons with subtoolbars on the left?)

3. Put the Close button on the right. There might be a space between the Close button and the previous tool widgets, or an element may expand to fill the space (for example the URL input in Browse).

A schema of the above looks like this: 

A [E] [V] | [C C | C C ... C] ________ X

I'm avoiding BNF writing in behalf of simplicity :)

Not sure that the | between the A [E] [V] and [C C ...] really serves any purpose and whereas space can be at a premium (especially at smaller screen sizes, separators can make the difference between whether or not the icons all fit. I'd argue we should restrict separators to logical groupings and to move the Close button to the far right. --Walter 09:58, 12 August 2011 (EDT)

Notes from 2011-04-10 meeting

From the discussions in IRC and email:


If we could quickly reach consensus on some outstanding issues regarding standard icons for things like the camera and user-created content, perhaps we could incorporate these icons in all the activities?

About icons, I think we need a agreement with:

  • New items (for example Implode use the star, and the star is our icon for bookmarks)
  • Save to journal / export (turtle art use the transfer style icons)
  • Load from journal
  • View icon (the eye is used for sensors in turtle art, maybe use the sensors icon in Measure?)
  • Photo / Camera / mic icons
  • Sensor input (is the Measure icon OK?)
  • The lips (i am trying to use them for text to speech, but is used in Measure)
  • User created content -- when use the gear? or spanner (wrench)? We have a spectrum from creating new content to modifying parameters to modifying the activity itself.
  • A search icon (we use the loupe, but can be confusing with the zoom icons?)
  • The loupe icon was not designed for the toolbar and have a different size
  • A standard icon (and way of handling) examples (code, projects, etc.)
  • Help icon (Finance and other activities have one)


TamTam refactoring

Note: using a box for the list of presets and the standard erase button for erase SynthLabPreset-alt.png

Proposed toolbars for TamTamJam

JamMain.png JamJam.png JamPlayback.png JamDesktop.png

Note: It has been proposed to move the play/mute buttons to the main toolbar so as to make the Beat buttons fit on smaller displays. --Walter 16:13, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Finance refactoring

An alternative to the Transaction subtoolbar buttons, reusing the icons "row-insert" and "row-remove":

Considerations:

  • I have converted the view buttons to radio buttons
  • The sensitivity of the buttons in the Transaction toolbar depend on list view selected, maybe we can trigger a change to list view when Transaction toolbar is selected
  • The context help strings may need to be changed because of the toolbars change, I will check
  • The help icon may be a good addition to Sugar
  • Change the Period label for icons inside the combo box, like in Record?
  • I tested other placements for the elements in the Transaction icon, with one and two arrows, I'm open to critics
