[xwiki-devs] [Proposal][UX] Standardization of icon usage on actions
Hi Devs, There are two different standards on the action icon usage in the LiveTable: - with icon + text - only with icon The main problem is the lack of consistency. Please vote on three versions: Var 1 : Icon + Text <http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActionIcons#var1> Var 2 : Just Icon<http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActionIcons#var2> Var 3 : Icon + Legend<http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActionIcons#var3> Thanks, Caty

Well, when using a small screen (1024*768), the document index becomes too wide. Thus I'd rather be +1 for Var 2 as it takes less space. Instead of having a caption at the bottom as on Var 3, we could put the action's legend in a tooltip displayed when hovering over the action icon. WDYT? Guillaume

As I am not a developer, I can not vote here, but I hope a simple opinion will be welcome! Here, in our environment, there are still a lot of people using small screens. Even less than 1024*768! Taking into account this and the fact that icons must be reflect by themselves the action of a hit, I would also support Var 2. The tooltip for an icon could be the right place for the action's legend as stated bu Guillaume. Thanks! Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team

-0 for Var 2, you should understand the UI without tooltip (even if we should still have tooltip on as much things as possible anyway) I did not tested on small screens but yes i guess Var 2 is maybe too large for these when there is more icons.

+1 for 3) Icon + Legend. Tooltips in addition would be great too, some people do use them. Jerome Ecaterina Valica wrote:
