Hi,
As per the previous thread on the topic (see http://is.gd/1bRm ), Proposal
n°4 attracted the most positive feedback for the WYSIWYG GUI (you can see
it
here : http://is.gd/1bRo ) . If nobody has anything against it, I'd like
to
get things forward and ask a real designer (that is, other than me :-) )
to
review it and propose a good-looking version of the proposal. Therefore
please shout now or never if you're against it !
Additionnaly, if you look into the proposal you'll see that we will need
to
decide between 2 options for advanced input interaction : a modal dialog
box
versus a tray. Both have advantages and issues and I'd like to get
feedback
about them. The dialog box prevents interaction with background content
while the tray allows it : that could be useful for tables for instance.
Does the text area keep its size when a tray dialog apears?
* Yes. Then the WYSIWYG needs to expand its height. This is fine as long
as the dialog isn't to big and client projects won't expect a fixed-height
editor.
* No. In this case, if the dialog is big then the text area's height will
be too small to be able to interact with the content while filling the
dialog.
What about using both kinds of dialogs? Tray for small and
highly-context-sensitive dialogs and movable&modal for the big ones.
Looking forward your feedback,
Guillaume
