Style Dialog Design [UI]
Talking about CSS support in Inkscape, a style dialog box will be added during GSoC this year. A design has already been proposed by Tavmjong at [1]. Some discussions have been done in thread 'Style Dialog'.
We need a review of the design for the style dialog from the interface team. Which options should be available in it? How it should behave when a user interacts with it?
Any modifications in the design are most welcome.

Cool, we'll get right on it. Thanks!

Excellent Part of the discussion should be how this dialog fits into the grand scheme of things. Should it be a separate dialog? Should it be merged into a combined Layers/Objects dialog. Should it replace the Selection Sets dialog? (Being able to select using classes should remove the need for selection sets.) Tav

Absolutely. I'm playing with a variety of ideas today and tomorrow.
Thanks for doing the preliminary mockups, Tav!

Hi everyone. As promised, I have done some preliminary UI analysis.
Unfortunately, the inkscape gallery seems to be badly broken at this point: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/9548/UI_flow_diagram.svg
So if, like me, you can not download the svg from that location to view it properly, go here: http://www.whitecatgraphics.com/inkscape/UI_flow_diagram.svg
Note that it contains flowed text which is meant to preserve editability and translatability of the original.
... yea, maybe it would be good to include a .png export just for a quick look, so here that is too:
http://www.whitecatgraphics.com/inkscape/UI_flow_diagram.png
Let me know any thoughts. :)

The link is:
https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/9549/UI_flow_diagram_plain_svg.svg
The file you uploaded must have been called that, but you can also link directly to:
https://inkscape.org/en/~C.Rogers/%E2%98%85ui-flow-diagram-for-style-an d-css-dialogs
It's a bit small though.
No thoughts on actual design atm. Website mode, please report brokenness to website administrator before struggling to post links to the mailing list :-)

Questions from diagram:
1. How does the CSS Dialog show inline styles vs. selector styles?
Maybe by using normal vs. italics? One thing that could be interesting is to show where the style comes from if inherited (as the browser inspectors due). I'm not sure how this would fit in.
2. If an object is selected, "Attribute" inline CSS editing could be enabled automatically.
I'm not sure you would always want this. But then it might be the most appropriate behavior since selecting an object or objects cannot select a single selector as there is not necessarily a one-to-one mapping.
3. If a CSS selector is selected, editing could automatically be set to "Sheet".
This is probably the desired behavior.
I do think we would still need the two buttons (Sheet and Attribute).
4. Can simply clicking on a new selector with objects already selected on-canvas replace the '+'?
I don't think so. You need to be able to define the type of selector (class, id, element type, etc.).
5. Can we use [Del] and ctrl-X to replace the (x).
I think these are fine keyboard shortcuts but I would still keep the (x).
