Description Ken Frank 2004-09-13 18:48:34 UTC

on nb4 welcome screen, using pseudo localized
labels, some buttons labels dont show all the 
text - this varies as to platform, user chosen
font size and/or length of strings - but for the
case for localized bits - translated strings can
be longer than in english

so if a bit more room could be for the buttons
width, that could help

from what I've been told, best solution is to use
layout mgrs to dynamically resize areas as to
string length

solution that is not preferred is to ask
l10n to specify some length or width values

Leos, do you think, from the graphical point of view, that the buttons
could be longer?  I can make them expandable, so that they are longer
just when needed and there's no ugly extra free space in the english
version.

The buttons was originally designed to be expandable just because of localization. All of 
them have to have same size and have to be cantered as they are now.

Comment 4 Ondrej Rypacek 2004-10-20 15:15:13 UTC

Fixed : the buttons are at least as big as before and possibly bigger
if necessary.
