GUI Cleanup
Many features have been integrated into gajim. It is time for a gui-cleanup now; the context menus are too bloated for daily usage.
There are several actions that can be grouped:
-
"Information" should be renamed. It has to express that it does not only offer static information. Local avatars, gpg-key selection, alias and group management could be placed there.
-
A better name for "subscription" is suitable. Remove and block/unblock could be moved in it.
-
"Privacy list" has be moved to "Edit". If you don't know it is a feature of gajim, you will never find it.
-
"Send Single Message" is hidden in the Actions menu but not placed next to "Start Chat" like it is done in the context menu.
-
"Join New Groupchat" should be changed so that it can be distinguished from the existing bookmarks.
-
"Advanced" in the Actions menu is not very usable. Maybe move "Show XML Console" to "View" and Administration one level up in the menu structure.
-
"Send Custom Status" icon does not express much about its function.
Furthermore it would be nice to popup key-selection when you press encryption button in a chat with no assigned key. Although there is no gtk-stock icon for that. It would be nice if an open lock icon could indicate whether encryption is enabled or not.
I am looking forward to your thoughts and proposals. Steve
