Re: [g-a-devel]Accessibility for GnomeCharmap

[muktha <muktha narayan wipro com>]

Hi,

The status bar used in gcharmap is the gnome status bar and not GtkStatusbar
and hence it is not
accessible  as of now. As the mouse moves on the character buttons, the
character as well as the
character code appears on the status bar. Presently, the character buttons do
not have any tooltips.
So, instead of just giving the characters as the tooltip to the character
buttons I thought that I could give
the information(which includes the character code) that appears on the status
bar as a tooltip to the character buttons.

Would like to know your opinion regarding this.

Thanks and regards
Muktha
