My latest comes from the most recent IBuild,
I20190924-1800. That's definitely the most
recent.
It seems pretty clear that this commit replaced the
TextField with a Button that brings up a dialog:
So it's coming from the platform.ui.
It looks to be a work in progress with a recent
suggestion to just use a toolbar button...
Hi Ed
I'm
always on the latest ;-). But I can't see that button in
the Eclipse SDK. Is this coming from some other project?

Dani,
Sorry, it's new to a recent

Where is that?

And menus. Might this look "prettier" with more
consistent use of images?
And what about this new-to-2019-09 button?
It's a bit ugly in my ignorant opinion.

Buttons in
dialogs should use text and that's what you see in
almost all our dialogs. It's also what Microsoft does
in its dialogs (can't speak for Mac or Linux).
-1 for using emojis.

Dear Eclipse experts,
today I had a discussion with
co-workers and I also want your feedback on that
topic.
It’s about Text and/or Icons on
(Standard) Buttons:
Today we see a lot of dialogs
in Eclipse where we have buttons that only have text
but no icons.
On example is Platforms
“Available Update Sites” preference page.
There we have Add, Remove,
Edit, … on the right hand side of the table.
Btw: Should the “Edit” button
not be “Edit…”?
Also JDT’s “Change Method
Signature” refactoring dialog has a similar pattern:
In contrast to that let’s have
a look at the “Rebase Interactive” view from EGIT:
Here we also have buttons. But
they all have icons and in addition they have text
below the icons. I find the UI design of the
interactive rebase view really good. The “first time
users” (that maybe
don’t know the meaning of some
icons) can directly read the text (and don’t need to
hover with the mouse) and will (maybe) learn the
icons.
In addition there’s a context menu and we have key
binding for the various actions.
Let’s have a look at an
additional location of icons and text. The perspective
switcher:
Here we also have Icons and
text (but not on the right hand side) by default but
the “power user” can switch the text off.
What’s the reason for not
having icons on the other locations? The Add, Remove,
Up, Down and Edit buttons could also get icons (that
already either already exist in Eclipse or are known
by “everybody” from every day’s life).
Regards,
Matthias
