For the upcoming 1.0 release, the EGit UI should receive some polishing. The following things hit my eyes: - SWT.BORDER should be removed from viewers embedded in view parts: - Git Tree Compare (class CompareTreeView) - History View (GitHistoryPage --> CommitGraphTable, ...) - Margins in dialogs, wizard pages, and preference pages should be consistent with the platform - e.g. "Commit Changes" dialog (margins too small, not aligned with OK/Cancel buttons) - Groups: - Unnecessary borders should be removed (e.g. in ExistingOrNewPage; see Team > Share Project > Git) - Groups should not be nested, if possible (e.g. in ???) - Groups should be aligned (e.g. misaligned in "Fetch From" wizard) - Actions labels and dialog titles should consistently use title case - e.g. "Open in commit viewer" in the History View's context menu should be "Open in Commit Viewer" - e.g. "Synchronize repository: ..." dialog should be "Synchronize Repository" - Colors in the history view graph should be improved - maybe colors could be derived from the Design Guidelines palette: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Image:Des_colour_pal.png - Provide reasonable default column widths in History View (looks broken when opened for the first time) - Wizard headers: - At least one wizard page misses a separator/border between the header and content area (see ???) - Incorrect additional margin between header and content area in dialog "Synchronize repository: ..." - Header descriptions should not start with "Please..." (e.g. in "Create Branch" dialog) (compare New Java Project > "Enter a project name:") - The icons look great for the most part; they look like a refresh of the CVS icons. A few icons could be improved, e.g. the filter icons in the History View. - Some more details: - "Create Branch" dialog: no error message should be shown initially - "Push To" wizard: widgets are not aligned - "Pull Result" dialog: orphaned separator/border
