[Evolution-hackers] Evolution Errors



The Evolution error messages and warning dialogs are fairly un-higgy.  There are two issues.  The first is that the text itself isn't hig-gy.  The second issue is that the spacing and layout of the dialogs isn't hig-gy.  I've attached a glade file which can be used to create hig-gy warning dialogs.  Here's a screenshot:



Notice that there are sets of text.  Since I have not updated all the messages that Evolution can display, it's possible to see old messages.  In this case, the HIG specifies that the message be displayed as the primary text (big and bold) and the secondary text be empty.

I've created a number of re-written error messages as well.  Please find it attached.
