Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Color Dialog design proposal (minor changes only)

[Ulf Lamping <ulf.lamping@xxxxxx>]

Hi List!

Even as the Color dialog is really *a lot* better than the older filter dialogs, it still needs some minor improvements IMHO.

Two things I really dislike:

a.) The "Revert" button is really "dangerous" in my eyes. It simply will delete your filter settings without any further warning.

b.) The double button row at the bottom of the dialog isn't very nice to look at, and even worse it's not very intuitive,
as there are lot's of buttons which could be pressed.

So my proposal for this is:

a.) simply remove the "Revert" button, as I can see no real benefit, or at least the tradeoff between the benefit and the
unintended reaction isn't good.

b.) Put the "Import" / "Export" buttons in their own frame "Manage" below the "Edit" frame.

I have attached a screenshot of the new dialog layout.




When no one sends a "veto" or has an even better idea, I will implement it in the next days.

After that, I will have a look at the capture and display filter dialogs and change them to look and behave similar to the color dialog.
