Buttons in dialogs...
Hi,
This suggestions is about the width of the buttons. And is a good help for translators, like me
Two pics:
Current dialog and buttons > Suggested >
10 characters less (free space gained)
Why the [ ] characters. Is necessary?
This suggestions will help with the space in dialogs windows.
Thanks.

Re: Buttons in dialogs...
On your picture buttons are gray, but by default button color is the same as background, so without brackets it could be difficult to distinguish button from some static text.

Re: Buttons in dialogs...
I suppose, the [] pair is a pure tradition, while the {} one is very useful as it indicates the current default button (being applied byMauro72 wrote:Why the [ ] characters. Is necessary?

).
To me, that's rather a reason to make those dialogs wider. After all, they might get translated to German, Hungarian or Finnish one day.Mauro72 wrote:This suggestions will help with the space in dialogs windows.

Then let us change the default color (I like the suggestion).DrKnS wrote:On your picture buttons are gray, but by default button color is the same as background, so without brackets it could be difficult to distinguish button from some static text.

Why the blank space?
Thanks!

It may be worth to place your suggestions as a wish on the bugtracker.
BTW: the dialog element DI_BUTTON has a flag DIF_NOBRACKETS, so every plugin, macro (that implement dialogs) or Far itself can leave or remove brackets, either individually or for all the buttons. That means it must not be difficult to implement the option to remove brackets.

As a proof that it is not difficult, here is a macrofile to remove spaces (or brackets and spaces) from all buttons in all the dialogs.
