Hard to see whether 'Show' is enabled or disabled

Post by HanVroon »

Hello all,

While retesting the Info pane toggle menu option I noticed that it was a little confusing to see whether the Data pane or Info pane was enabled or not.

All the other options in the View menu to show or hide parts of the interface have checkboxes.
It would probably be more clear if the Show options of the Data and Info panes would have checkboxes too.
Now there is a (nice but small) tree or info icon in front of the options and when enabled I just recently noticed that a tiny frame comes around the icon when enabled.

A checkbox would be better visible, what do you thing?

Kind regards,
Han

Yes.

...but most probably is the glyph (image) of the action which can appear also on the toolbar and this image is "pressed" or not.

The symbols are good but their disabled state should be easier to see.
