-  * [draft] If possible, settings modifications should immediately take effect. Otherwise, settings modifications should take effect when the properties dialog is closed, and the plugin's widgets should be set insensitive while the dialog is open.+  * [draft] It is highly encouraged for settings modifications to take effect immediately. If this is not at all possible, it should be made clear to the user that settings modifications will take effect when the properties dialog is closed.
     * The sensitive part can be dropped, it just works if the dialog is set modal (see [[http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.12/GtkDialog.html#GtkDialogFlags|GtkDialogs flags]]).  Btw, I prefer when the modifications are affected immediately, that's the default habit in most xfce settings dialogs. --- mike 2008/01/10 05:58     * The sensitive part can be dropped, it just works if the dialog is set modal (see [[http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.12/GtkDialog.html#GtkDialogFlags|GtkDialogs flags]]).  Btw, I prefer when the modifications are affected immediately, that's the default habit in most xfce settings dialogs. --- mike 2008/01/10 05:58

     * Indeed in Xfce it is very common to apply changes immediately unless you are making more complex changes. Please avoid insensitivity or modality where possible. --- kalikiana 2008/01/26 17:06     * Indeed in Xfce it is very common to apply changes immediately unless you are making more complex changes.

 +    * I think this one's pretty solid now. Let's allow until 2008/03/16 (two weeks) for further debate. If there are no more negative comments, the "[draft]" tag should be removed at that time.  --- //[[ongardie@gmail.com|Diego Ongaro]] 2008/03/03 04:44//
