Description Tomas Danek 2007-04-25 13:47:28 UTC

netbeans-6.0-nightly-200704250000-full-windows.exe

- ran the installer:
Am i the only one who is confused from the first screen on first sight?
(attaching screenshot)
First of all, i thought that bold items are those which are going to be
installed, and regular will not be installed. It took me a while to understand
that bold are categories, and regular are items under those categories. I'd
expect some tree structure for this case, or at least tree structure emulated by
indenting items.

Jano,

what should we do with this issue?
should it be marked as invalid as of the UI spec? OR
should it be marked as enhancement for the future release?

Thanks,
Dmitry

I agree it is a problem. We'll fix it. First I'll fix the UI spec.

Comment 4 dlipin 2007-08-20 15:31:02 UTC

Since the UI spec is updated it is not clear what to do with this issue. 
Jano, shoud we mark it as invalid?

Comment 5 jrojcek 2007-08-21 13:34:16 UTC

Note that we added an empty line between the list of features and runtimes. Hopefully this would better indicate that the bold label is a category name.

Comment 6 dlipin 2007-08-21 13:36:44 UTC

it is fixed then...
