Hi Everyone,
3 questions about the inkscape UI.
The first relates to Windows users only: why is it that the menu item icons are shrunk slightly? I get the impression that GTK has taken the Windows system item height (which is good), then squished the menu bitmaps into that height (which is bad). The the MS Office applications got around this problem by simply increasing the height of each item so as to accomodate the icon. Is it possible to do this with GTK?, because right now the icons look more like a mush than attractive decoration. (BTW: Roll on the Tango icons)
Second observation: It seems to me that "Vacuum Defs" is a bit of an unfortunate title for this menu item, in that from reading it, even an experianced user such as myself struggles to comprehend what it might actually do. Is this the best title? I've never seen another menu item ever with the word "Vacuum" in it; it's not a well understood UI term. And most users aren't going to know what a "def" is either.
Third observation: in XP/Vista in the development builds (but not in 0.45.1), there's some wierd toolbar behaviour at the moment, as you'll see in this screenshot: http://www.airwebreathe.org.uk/toolbar.png. In both XP and Vista, when the mouse hovers over the chevron at the end of the toolbar you get a wierd double bevel effect. Can this be sorted out? Also in the Vista screenshot you may notice that the toolbar gradient doesn't line up with the toolbar frame properly.
Any comments?
