Description Ann Sunhachawee 2004-01-07 01:58:27 UTC

Using build from 20040106

0. Titles and menu item should be headlined
capitalized.
"Add New Server Instance..."

1. The labels in this dialog seem to have a
hardcoded color that is different than the rest of
the background. 

2. The inline error message should appear closer
tied to the OK/Cancel buttons. Should appear 17
vertical pixels above the buttons, left aligned.
Should stay in this place upon resize as well.

3. Shouldn't the password show up as "*"
characters instead of in cleartext?

4. Add mnemonics.
(I)nstall Direcotyr
(S)hared Installation
(U)sername
(P)assword
(E)nable HTTP Monitor
(B)rowse...
B(r)owse...

5. I'd like to see more of the error messages as
inline errors instead of dialogs. Realize this
can't alwasy be done, e.g. if you launch the
Browse... button. Will check and update the issue
on this

Comment 1 Martin Grebac 2004-01-13 22:01:00 UTC

Just an update:

0, 1, 3 fixed

4 - this is a more general bug probably, because I don't see any
mnemonics (not only in this dialog) on Win2k, but they are visible and
work on Linux

2,5 - remaining

Comment 2 Ann Sunhachawee 2004-02-06 21:33:34 UTC

related to 0) .. the title of the dialog itself should not have the
ellipses.. should just read "Add New Server". The menu item action
should still have the ellipses though.

Comment 3 Martin Grebac 2004-02-24 14:00:21 UTC

Will fix the inline messaging.

Comment 4 Martin Grebac 2004-02-25 12:37:46 UTC

Title is fixed.

Comment 5 Martin Grebac 2004-02-25 13:29:10 UTC

2 fixed.

Comment 6 Martin Grebac 2004-02-25 14:01:53 UTC

I'm not gonna fix 5, because we are after UI freeze and it's more like
an enhancement. 
And later on we're more likely going to change add tomcat installation
into wizard, so it will need to be changed, anyway. So marking this
issue as fixed, and will create a task for changing the dialog into
wizard.
