Is it possible to get Wizard dialogs without help sub-window? I.e. have full-screen contents?
Not taking into account the discussion whether we really need help texts visible at all times, I see two possible solutions of having Wizard dialog without help sub-window:
1. I've seen over Miso's shoulder yast2-gtk's way of coping with help text - a button named 'Help' that opens a popup with help text (RIcardo, correct me if I'm wrong :-) )
That's right. The original reason why we did that way was because of feedback from a blind user using the ATK-enabled tools. But I think this would be the right approach for other interfaces to take too, because this would let us provide a richer help API. Most programs that Suse ships have some very decent documentation (from calculators to web browsers), why is it that the setup tools don't even have a trouble shooting section? Cheers, Ricardo
2. Adding `Splitter widget to our UI's as suggested by Lukas here: http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2007-06/msg00060.html
By dragging a vertical splitter between main dialog and help sub-window as much to the left as possible, user would be able to 'hide' help text pane.
(if I did not express myself clearly enough, you can try that e.g. with KMail or Thunderbird - just drag the splitter between left folder list pane and right message list + message body pane to the left. This way you can make folder list invisible)
