Revamping the Styles & Formating Window
The idea would be incremental "better than nothing" steps : that means changes that wouldn't disrupt users and that would be cheap to implement.
First Step : Tabization
The first step is to create logical groups of the different elements. It just clarifies the way the window works without changing user interaction (he click at the same places as before).
Second Step : Explicit commands
The second step is to move icons in a more convenient place and to redefine their actions :
- Icon "Add" adds a new style ; the triangle beneath opens a menu : Add new style, create style from selection, Load styles. Or if it's simpler : icons and triangle open the meun.
- Icon "Edit" edit the current style ; the triangle beneath opens a menu : Edit style, update style from selection
- Icon "Delete" deletes current style
It would imply to change a little bit the user interaction, but icons are more explicit than the existing ones.
