Description Telesto 2021-01-17 09:54:44 UTC
Description:
UI: Redesign of wrap picker in tabbed UI (maybe also Regular toolbar)

Steps to Reproduce:
I always struggle a bit with reading - interpreting - the wrap icons. And the thing a saw in the screenshot came kind as 'relief'.. in the sense of first impression..

Actual Results:
Icon only

Expected Results:
Drop down with text label for easier experience.. Yes it would add an additional (left) click.. but the anchor button has it too.. And you don't change wrap on regular basis (I think).. So readability might be better


Reproducible: Always

The screenshot shows a different kind of UI control. This floating widget allows larger icons with more details. We have it for the numbering/bullet options, for instance. Would welcome such floating widgets (nice GSoC project, btw).

But I wonder if the current icons itself needs improvement. Rizal/Andreas, what do you think?

I'm fine with the icons.

In general I suggest to use the wrap dialog (which can be located somewhere in the toolbar/NB), cause there are so much options in addition available.

If you have a look at the sidebar there is also an Distance widget which is from my point of view very importend for the different wrap options wich isn't available in the toolbar/NB. So I would prefer the dialog instead of add something new.
