[ui-best-practices-working-group] re: Mandatory fields, yellow form fiel

Hi Nico,

Mandatory fields can be marked with
an asterisk (*) at the end of the label for the field.  For example,
from the PDE editor:

The yellow fields were how we did things
in 3.2 and earlier.

For further information see http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Field_Decorators_and_Validation
 and 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=120238

Regards,
Kevin

Subject	[platform-ui-dev] Mandatory fields, yellow form fields

Dear list

I've got two questions that have something to do with the Eclipse User
Interface Guidelines (http://wiki.eclipse.org/User_Interface_Guidelines):

1. The Eclipse way of indicating mandatory form fields
What is the best practice for mandatory form fields?
a) setting an asterisk next to the label text
b) marking the form field itself
c) both

2. Yellow form field background
When creating a new folder or file in Eclipse the fields have a yellow
background. What is the meaning of those yellow form fields?

Regards,
Nico
