Description Milan Kubec 2005-03-16 14:49:50 UTC

We should consider to provide icons instead of buttons with text 'Source' and
'Design'. Entire editor toolbar is icon based and only text buttons are those
two, and it doesn't look very consistent with other IDE toolbars. IMO we should
come up well designed clear icons with tooltips 'Source' and 'Design'.

The toolbar is composed by multiview => reassigning for evaluation.

Comment 2 Milos Kleint 2005-03-16 15:02:16 UTC

reassigning

Comment 3 Milos Kleint 2005-03-16 15:03:37 UTC

actually the current implementation is according to the UI spec, so reassigning
to   dusan.

Comment 4 dpavlica 2005-03-16 17:49:15 UTC

I suggested to have those two texts instead icons, because that Editor switching
is really important functionality of the toolbar. User could easily overlook
these actions when only icons would be there.

But we thought about having icons+texts there instead only texts as a
enhancement in the future.
