Some small adjustments have been made to the layout of the dialog templates
to accommodate places where the translation is longer. Please report it if
there are any spots I've missed where the text overflows the space available.
The IDC_CHOOSE_SYNC button with German text "Synchronisieren" overlaps with
"Test" checkbox:
"(.) Synchronisier[.] Test"
Could be fixed by increasing res.rc:SETUP_KPCE_W from 52 to 60 (the three
radio buttons IMO do not look "nice" then),
Thanks for pointing this out.
Yeah, I agree it's not very pleasing, evenly spreading the radio buttons out
horizontally like that.
I think maybe this dialog could use a little reworking, as I suspect the
original layout was made with the assumption it needs to fit in on a 640x480 VGA
display, which is probably no longer valid. :)
Especially on 2K/4K displays, nobody is likely to run anything full screen
except video players, so ensuring that everything fits in the smallest window
possible is more user friendly.
Every time I run setup, I have to reset the window size and every column width,
as it stopped remembering layout a few years ago, possibly after a (Windows)
disk clone, when I had to reset Cygwin permissions and ACLs!
Does it still require Admin...+System read/write ACEs to /etc/setup/setup.rc?
or by an individual adjustment like:
- CONTROL "&Beste",IDC_CHOOSE_BEST,...,SETUP_BEST_X,30,SETUP_KPCE_W,14
- CONTROL "&Synchronisieren",IDC_CHOOSE_SYNC,...,SETUP_SYNC_X,30,SETUP_KPCE_W,14
+ CONTROL
"&Beste",IDC_CHOOSE_BEST,"Button",...,SETUP_BEST_X,30,SETUP_KPCE_W-10,14
+ CONTROL
"&Synchronisieren",IDC_CHOOSE_SYNC,...,SETUP_SYNC_X-12,30,SETUP_KPCE_W+12,14
or by simply using an abbreviation like "Synchr.".
Unfortunately, the tool used to merge in updated translations uses the English
dialog layouts as a template, so per-language customizations like this will be
hard to maintain.
