Description Celeste Lyn Paul 2007-02-22 14:15:32 UTC
Version:           0.12.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

In the Kopete configuration dialog, each frame has a header or line of text which describes what the user can do in that section.  This is a very good and helpful feature, however can be improved a little.

Headers like that are better formatted in statements, rather than sentences.  They are shorter and easier to read.  Additionally, in the case with Kopete, all of the statements begin with "Here You Can..", which is redundant and not necessary.

We (Celeste and Ellen) suggest changing the headers to something similar to the following:

Manage All (^of?) Your Accounts
Change Kopete's Look and Feel
Kopete Video and Audio Device Settings
Personalize Kopete's Behavior
Manage Your Global Identity
Comment 1 Michaël Larouche 2007-02-24 17:54:18 UTC
SVN commit 636896 by mlarouche:

Apply Usability changes suggested by Celeste and Ellen

This is only applied on trunk (for now), because KDE 3.5 branch is
string freezed.
