[yast-devel] Button Order
Fate #303446 covers a long-standing request: Support both GNOME and KDE button orders in YaST2. The UI now provides a new widget called ButtonBox that handles that in an abstract way. What we need to do now is to use that widget whereever appropriate. In many cases, this will be as simple as replacing `HBox( `PushButton(`id(`ok ), _( "&OK" ) ), `PushButton(`id(`cancel), _( "&Cancel" ) ) ) with `ButtonBox( `PushButton(`id(`ok ), _( "&OK" ) ), `PushButton(`id(`cancel), _( "&Cancel" ) ) ) More information at http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Development/Misc/Button_Order [Any follow-up discussions please on yast-devel] CU -- Stefan Hundhammer <sh@suse.de> Penguin by conviction.

Leave it as it is. The wizard widget handles its buttons all by itself; the Gtk wizard widget can rearrange buttons if that should be necessary. And wizards have their [Next] etc. button in the bottom right corner anyway, so it's more like GNOME button order. BTW that's where the KDE button order is somewhat inconsistent.

Hi, Since the wizard calls already convey the button's action already (SetBackButton(), SetNextButton(), ...), there's really no benefit of using this container other than possibly for technical simplification. In fact, -gtk already orders those buttons differently than -qt. Furthermore, the YButtonBox currently assesses the button's role by checking if its id is "ok", "yes", "yesButton", etc. We don't really want to use it across the board, beyond its intent purpose for confirmation dialogs.

I just found a lot of places with `PushButton(... `opt(`customButton) ... ) This is generally not neccessary, nor is it desired. Please use that only if any of the heuristics go guess a button role from the button label, ID, or function key went wrong. I just updated the documentation to make this more clear.
