This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The font of the label at the top is larger than that of the rest of the dialog. Also, the dialog title should be shorter and use capitalized nouns, like "Insert Record".
Also, the Show SQL button displays an error message if data for all columns hasn't been entered. That is not the right way to display an error message. Look at CreateDatabasePanel.java in the derby module for how to do it. Upping priority to P2 since it makes NetBeans look unpolished.

We are no longer displaying error messages, we just display info, if you still don't like it please explain with example, so that I can understand it better. Have fixed the title and font issues. See -->http://hg.netbeans.org/dbdataview/rev/88b681a87aba
You should not use OS-specific font names: + <Property name="font" type="java.awt.Font" editor="org.netbeans.beaninfo.editors.FontEditor"> + <Font name="Arial" size="12" style="0"/> + </Property>
I am using Matisse. I am not sure how to make it OS Independent.

See the attached screenshot. There is an error message in the SQL box, which should be displayed in red, like an error. See how errors are displayed e.g. in the New Project wizard. Regarding the font name, setting the font to the default value (right click on the font property in the Properties window) should do.
THE QE folks has a different idea, they thought this is an info not error, I can make it as red.
Actually: - I used red as an example. It needs to use whatever the error color is. See desc2. - you also need to display it in a separate label, so that it looks like error messages in other dialogs in NetBeans. I think this is an error, not an info message. Just as not entering a package name when you create a Java class is an error.
Andrei, please read this: http://wiki.netbeans.org/InformationIcons According to this document, if customer invokes dialog first time there should be prompt string, not error message.
So, Whats is the resolution?
That looks like a proposal more than a specification that is already in effect. I will ask and let you know.
Fixed font issues : http://hg.netbeans.org/dbdataview/rev/11c07b392995 Since showing validation information is still under discussion I would like to deal with it separately. Most of the Insert Record issues has been fixed.
Showing err messages in red is a very isolated issue, need to be addressed separately. As far as bad UI is concern, I think we have all the fixes. Please reopen it you still think the UI still looks bad with steps to reproduce and/or screenshorts.
Verified with build 080709.
