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
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
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.
Will fix the inline messaging.
Title is fixed.
2 fixed.
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.
