Re: GNOME HIG: Feedback Wanted



On the buttons page:

"When several buttons are placed next to each other, ensure that they
have the same width. This is particularly important for pairs of Cancel
and OK buttons."

And then:

"Often this will be the OK or equivalent button."

And then:

"Label all buttons with imperative verbs"

But if I follow this last piece of advice, then my app would not have
any OK buttons, correct?

Unrelated:

"Linking is a common technique for sets of toggle buttons."

I worry this wording makes it seem like linking is an inappropriate
technique for normal (non-toggle) buttons.

From the check boxes page:

"Clicking the box... (when confirmed)"
"Clicking the box a second time... (when confirmed)"
"Clicking the box a third time... (when confirmed)"

"When confirmed" seems a little ambiguous. Am I supposed to pop up a
message dialog to ask the user if he wants to apply the action?

By the way, you've done a good job with the HIG; thanks. :)
