improvement suggestions for the new About box

[zenogantner]

There are several things that are not 100% perfect yet.

See the attached screenshot.

1. "Padre:-" - either use a colon or a minus/dash.
2. The text looks grey-ish - at least on Debian. It should just look normal. Too many different fonts on one screen is not a good thing, we currently have 5 different font combinations: normal, bold, grey, plus two different sizes of the Times-like font in the splash screen
3. Arbitrary line break (too early)
4. Arbitrary line breaks (too late)

(3) and (4) could be solved by putting the text into a widget that takes care of the line breaks itself.

There are no font changes in about dialog, only normal and bold used sparingly, all other issues are a result of translation.

[zenogantner]

Hi Kevin, thank you for the quick reaction. I do not think that the grey font is a result of translation, it looks the same in English (see second attached file).

Looks like on the first two screenshots on both Debian testing and Ubuntu 10.04.

The setup on Ubuntu 10.04 is:

About Dialog broken in r17654

after all the previous work

[bowtie]

for alias

[bowtie]

as of r17947 the above about4alias.png is what the about dialog looks like.

in FBP/About.pm

the following dose NOT WORK IN UBUNTU just blanks

Wx::gettext("Created by G\x{e1}bor Szab\x{f3}"),

and let us not forget about the new placing of CLOSE button,

All of the above could simply be avoided if it was checked on another platform, before commitment:)

[zenogantner]

With my configuration, the problem in about4alias.png does not occur.
At r17962.
