Draft: Proposal of a more structured layout

dave90dave requested to merge dave90dave/gnome-calculator:master into master

Hi!

This is a draft proposal for a more organised and structured lay-out.

The issues that I noticed during my use of the calculator are:

  • The text in the buttons were too small for long term use.
  • It was hard to see the differences between functions, number buttons, etc. (some buttons were hard to identify)
  • The clear button and undo button were not easy to spot quickly. (and I use them a lot)

So hereby I propose the following changes:

  • The text-size of the buttons in simple mode have been increased, making it more comfortable to read.
  • All buttons do now have a added style tag, according to the purpose of that button.
  • Every button group now has it's own CSS style tag, they are classified into the following groups:
    • Functions
    • Operator buttons ( +-x/ buttons )
    • Undo buttons
    • Clear buttons
    • Result buttons
    • % buttons
    • dot-point buttons (. button)

I recommend repo admins to watch this changes in effect first, before merging this request. Take a look, and make some (color) changes if you like. And please take a look in other modes (advanced, financial, programming)

This is a draft proposal.

So if you have compliments, suggestions, improvements or criticism, just let me know!

The colors are also a drafts, if you have suggestions tell me!

Have a nice day ;)

Dave
