[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Default look of dialog boxes in the WYSIWYG editor

Hi Devs, Anca asked me to finalize the overall look of dialog boxes in the WYSIWYG so that she can work on it and polish it for the 2.0 release. Right now the issue is that we're using a different look for the link, image & macro dialog boxes which poses a consistency problem. I've been working with Cati on a proposal for the look of the overall box - not for the inner part of the box. Proposals for the standardization of the inner part of the box will come later. The dialog box uses a wizard-like look and follows the vertical form principles proposed by Cati in a previous email (thus the primary action button at the bottom left, to follow the user's eye flow). Its "hidden" features are: - Buttons can be in an enabled or disabled mode depending of what the current step is - All buttons are displayed all the time so that they don't move from one screen to the next - Buttons' labels are configurable - There is no "Cancel" button, the cross at the top right of the dialog box plays that role - The title in the top bar doesn't change and its name is the same as the associated toolbar button (clicking on "Link" opens a dialog box called "Link") - The "Wizard Step Title" reflects what's happening at the current step: "Page Selection" , "Code Macro" , "Image Selection" - The description tells the user what to do at the current step: "Select the page to link to" , "Select the image to insert" , "Fill in macro parameters" - Double-clicking on an item (an image, a page name) acts in the same fashion as selecting it and clicking the "Next" button. If the "Next" button is disabled at the current step, double-clicking works as the primary action ("Insert" , "Create") The mockups are located at: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Mockups/GenericMacroDialog WDYT?
