Re: [Geary] UI consistency

[Robert Schroll <rschroll gmail com>]

I believe the reason for the current situation is the worry that the 
Archive icon is not particularly self-explanatory (and probably never 
will be).  While the tooltip does help, my experience suggests that 
relying on a tooltip to explain functionality is foolish.  We just went 
through a brouhaha on bugzilla in part because we relegated important 
info in the preferences dialog to a tooltip.

That's not to say we shouldn't do this, though.  We're clearly relying 
on the user being able to figure out a lot on their own, and this 
wouldn't be that much of a stretch.  The best thing to do would be to 
file a bug on bugzilla.gnome and attach your patch, so we don't lose it.

Thanks,
Robert
