| Hi Tor, | | here are my suggestions about the "Task Tags" dialog | - why didn't you place the list with tags in a JScrollPane? Accidental omission. The JList icon on the form editor shows a scrollbar so I didn't think about it. (That should probably change in the form editor by the way.) But yes of course the list should be inside a scrollpane. | - space between/placement of the buttons. Do you know | about http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/checklist/index.html? Yup, I have a copy of the JLF book around here somewhere :) I need to go tweak the pixel alignment. I always remember the 12,12 offset from the top left and the 11,11 offset from the bottom right, and the 11/12 separation between unrelated items, but I can never remember group spacing. | - It may be hard to understand why the "Add" and "Change" | buttons are disabled by default and how they work | - what do you think about using a JTable with 2 columns? | Tag | Priority | ----------------- | @todo | Medium | @TODO | Medium | <<<<< | High That's similar to how Eclipse does it: http://www.norbye.org/tor/eclipse-tageditor.gif I prefer their term (tag) over Microsoft's term (token). However, I preferred the way VS.NET lets you edit these: http://www.norbye.org/tor/vsnet-tageditor.gif You'll probably recognize the center of the dialog, including the Add/Change button behavior! However, I don't care strongly about this, so go ahead and change it if you want. I just think NetBeans has gone a little too far in table & property sheet manipulation of preferences. There was a big push for a redesigned options panel to be more in line with customized guis as used by the tag editor, but it was deferred for lack of resources. Not sure if it's going in for 4.0. -- Tor
