[Bug 500209] Re: UI issues

 

Oh and i forgot to mention another simple one : 
- "Trash" is named as "Dustbin" , I'm not sure if the applet is translated or not , But when system uses US English  , trash is name of the location and in British English its as of now named "Wastebasket" > Bug #406626 . But if the bug is fixed, even in UK english it will be "Trash"

- And i remember long back when i add the applet , it is still named "Corbeille" ;) . And i had to rename it to "Trash"
Ideally, naming it as translated would be better .

A bigger change would be to merge the 3 tabs of theme manager into one and make it a single tab in the configure window. 
[but I'm not sure why it is given a separate window. Should i open a separate bug? In this bug i wanted to mention only the simple issues.] :)

Bug description:
Since , i noticed that the cairo dock is cleaning up the configurations window , I thought I'd mention a couple of other simple issues:

- The "Quit" button , in the configurations window , should actually be named "Close" , since all it does is close the window. Generally , in all other applications "Quit" is used to quit the whole application including all running instances.
- "OK" and "Quit" buttons seem to perform the same function. Why have two buttons? "Close" could just replace both. 

- When user right-clicks on the dock , the Cairo-dock submenu , has too many options. 
Could the "Developer site" and the "Community site" options be moved to the "About" window? It would be easier to better explain the options and provide these links in the "About" window.

- Using the Up and down arrow icons for the Unmaximize and the minimize is a bit misleading... Ideally, the dock could use its own icons which are consistent with default metacity buttons , or not show any icons like how metacity does it. 
- Keep the unmaximize and minimize options together , similar to the options shown in the window , Would give some consistentcy to the user when using both the dock and the metacity window. [currently they are separated by the "show" option ]

PS: nice work on the new simple mode :)
