Aero dialogs

Hi,

The nightly builds are up again, and the last one has some changes to
the dialogs on Vista and Win7 with Aero enabled.

Since I figured that not all of you would like the new look, there's an
option in the settings dialog to disable this.

But I'd like to hear from you guys about what you think of those dialogs
- are they good or bad?

Stefan

Hello,

I'd welcome it! I think it is very good, modernising the interface into the
OS look n' feel and all, nonetheless it's probably a little ostentatious to
some.

A few suggestions:
-The update/commit progress dialog still has the little grey static control
background behind the listview and the speed/gauge statuses. Perhaps those
should be moved to the glass portion (and the listview placed directly on
the frame instead of the panel). Likewise for the log window - grey at the
left, top and right edges and glass at the bottom. I don't have a hard and
fast rule for what goes on glass and what stays on a panel though, any
ideas?
-The okay/cancel buttons seem to be mis-aligned.
- I'm not sure about this myself, however when I created a few glass margins
I believe they allow the window to be dragged around the screen (try doing
that in Explorer, above the "address bar"); the Tortoise glass areas don't
seem to be able to allow dragging (perhaps that's disabled intentionally?)

Otherwise, great job with modernising the UI!

Regards,
Joel

The problem with those two dialogs is the progress bar that's below the
list controls. I haven't found a way (yet) to make them show nice on an
Aero background. So I have to keep them on the gray background. That's
also why the speed label in the progress dialog is on the gray
background: it's on the same vertical position as the progress bar.
But I'm working on that...

in which dialog?

I noticed that too in explorer. But I think to make this work it's
required to handle the WM_MOUSEMOVE message, check whether the left
button is pressed and move the window 'manually'. I haven't disabled
anything so I don't think that behavior is automatic.

Handle WM_NCHITTEST and return HTCAPTION.

Hello Stefan,

The misaligned cancel/OK buttons are on the commit/update dialog. It seems
to be a little off-position- It seems as though when the panel was there the
positioning of the OK/cancel buttons would be aligned to the right of the
listview but now with the glass on it does look a little weird. Technically
it is "aligned" but it does look a little odd in my opinion as there seems
to be too much padding on the right.

Regards,
Joel

Thanks, that's the better way to do this.
