Karl agrees that a stretchable text (width changes depending on total size) is better than a fix width. Yes, at least, it looks better for normal use cases. The patch will
Feature changed by: Jiri Srain (jsrain) Feature #306237, revision 16 Title: YaST Textmode: Display Release Notes - openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation + openSUSE-11.2: Done Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Desirable Requested by: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) Description: In YaST ncurses UI, even if the screen is large (more than 100 characters), do not use more than 79/80 width for displaying the frame containing the release notes text. Lines longer than 80 characters are hard to read. Relations: Discussion: #2: Gabriele Mohr (gabi2) (2009-03-25 14:41:44) I have discussed with Karl. The problem also exits for Qt. Therefore a change in YCP layout is necessary. I have attached a suggestion for a layout change in inst_release_notes.ycp. I have used `Empty and `HWeight to add a margin at the left and right side of the text. This approach works for Qt and ncurses. Karl agrees that a stretchable text (width changes depending on total size) is better than a fix width. #4: Karl Eichwalder (keichwa) (2009-03-25 15:16:03) (reply to #2) Thanks, Gabi! probably improve the readability for most users. #3: Gabriele Mohr (gabi2) (2009-03-25 14:43:38) Added attachment patch for inst_release_notes.ycp (HWeight.diff) #5: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-09-10 10:15:22) what happened to this? #6: Jiri Srain (jsrain) (2009-09-10 10:42:18) (reply to #5) Nothing, it left to be evaluated by PrjMgr (just checked the code in SVN, patch is not applied). However, applying the patch is trivial, provided it has been tested. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306237
