Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200904030200) Java: 1.6.0_13; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.3-b02 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1250; cs_CZ (nb) According to http://wiki.netbeans.org/FitnessForeverUISpec , the Activate button in Plugins dialog should be highlighted with green background. However, it is not.
Also the icons for disabled modules should be less aggressive. Right now they signal that something is broken, which is not. The UI spec is using empty circles which would be nicer.
This is not a blocker for Beta, but needs to be fixed for final FCS ... olangr said: We've had troubles with users over-looking the Activate button. The core problem is, indeed, it's position, but integrating it with the column of "uninstall" checkboxes is a little more complicated then it seems, so this should work as a short-term solution.
Created attachment 80288 [details] proposed patch, does not work on Aqua L&F
I`ve a simple patch (attached) but it does not work on Mac well. I`m continue investigations...
Created attachment 80289 [details] still does not work on mac (previous was experimental)
No more valid due to the new UI proposed by Ondrej in issue 163411 when we have Activate button at the bottom. http://www.netbeans.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/81415/Plugin%20dialog%20-%20simpification.gif
