Re: [PATCH] better UI experience (properties window)

 

Hey Fabrizio,

Sorry I didn't comment on this sooner but I've been busy.  I have a few
comments:

"Custom Fields" should just read "Fields".  The first four fields are
mandatory so the word custom is misleading.

The "Assert" button is confusing.  This button tests the component name
but does not updated the component.  "Verify", "Validate", or "Test"
would be more descriptive.

Please change "deg" to "degrees" in the orientation control.  I'm not
sure "deg" is a standard abbreviation for degrees in the same way the
"mm" is the standard abbreviation for millimeters.

I know this isn't specific to your changes but I would appreciate if you
would fix the spacing between the "Font Size", "X Position", and "Y
Position" controls.  It's been on my todo list for a long time so it
would be helpful if you could fix this.

Thanks,

Wayne
