Hi, A bit of summarizing on what we've got so far: On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 11:56 AM, Ecaterina Valica <[email protected]>wrote:
* 1.*
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterfaceAppendix... +1 for A with a left-aligned title (keep the consistency with the left alignerd forms)
Pretty much everyone agreed on left-aligned title. *2. *
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterfaceAppendix... +1 F, G, H with modifications: F - * need somewhere to be stated that * means Required - the location of the star changes the position with the length of the label
G - from a visual scanning point of view, it's better that they are at the beginning of the line and the stars are not changing their position - but the star should be outside the alignment of the text - also somewhere needs o be stated the meaning of the star
H - is the most straight forward - Required should have another color than the explanatory text ("Type the address...") so it pops out
I agree with Sergiu that green is not the best color for required fields. Also it has low contrast with black and white.
Proposal H got the most vote. I agree with Caty on the fact that make it colored would pop out more. As long as it's a dark enough color I think it won't hinder accessibility. Thus I'm suggesting we use H but with "required" printed in the orange color used in proposal G. WDYT? 3.
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorInterfaceAppendix... +1 C1 because is a separation between the explanatory text and the error text. Putting it below makes sense for me to have this separation. The red color is ok.
I don't like the green of the labels for the mandatory fields. Too many colors and means nothing for me that the fields are green.
B got 3 votes, A one, C one. B & C are quite similar (text above or below the error). Having text at the top is better in the tree configuration and it doesn't make that much of a difference for regular fields. Thus I suggest we go for B. We're short on time here, please cast your -1 quickly if you disagree with this. Thanks, Guillaume
