Description Steffen Pingel

2009-09-17 17:53:36 EDT

Please see the attached screenshot for an example of using round borders instead of rectangular borders in the task editor similar to how this is already done for the summary. Note that the padding between CCombo controls would need to be adjusted but that's a minor issue that could be easily addressed.

Looks promising.  Let's try it, but roll back if it wastes too much space.  If we keep this, we need to consider suggesting this change to other form editors in the SDK.

Thanks. I'll schedule this as a low priority item for 3.3 and commit in the next few days after I have fixed up the padding so we can gather some more feedback.

I've tried to look at this but have had troubles updating to the latest dev build.  It seems that some of the bundles are not on the server?

I haven't committed the rounded borders since I coulnd't come up with a satisfactory design that looks decent on all platforms. Regarding the failed download: Eclipse is currently experiencing infrastructure problems due to the SR1 release (bug 290760). I hope that we'll have a new build available tomorrow and problems have been solved until then.

Moving to the back log as per comment 13. We can reconsider this if we can come up with a design that works well accross platforms.
