[pilot-db-list] Thoughts about the different 0.3.2 versions

[Oliver G. <oli...@we...>]

Hi!

Here are some thoughts about the different versions (with text
labes and icons, as well as the color versions) of release 0.3.2.


- I just installed the color version (db-en-color.prc, with text 
  buttons) on my Palm IIIc, and I think it's a very good idea to
  use the background colors in the list view.

  (For those whithout a color device: the title line in the
  list view is bold black text with a yellow background color
  and every other line of data has a green background to 
  optically seperate the displayed records.)

  Is there a way to make the colors, which are used configurable
  by the user? I realise that this probably costs a few bytes
  in program size, but I still think it would be worth it.

- One bug I found (I'm not sure if this was already mentioned)
  is, that sometimes the "Find" button is displayed despite
  the list not showing all the records:

  When I do a search and only the records that match my search
  criteria are displayed the Find button changes to "All", but
  when I now edit an entry or do a new sort by using the 
  Options->Sort menu, the list still only displays the records
  found, but the Button jumps back to "Find"

- I also tried out the iconic version. Personally, I like the
  text version better. But one thing really did confuse me at
  first with the iconic version: I searched for the icon 
  to commit the changed I did in record edit mode until I 
  realized it was actually the exit door.

  For me this looks more like an "escape" icon, so it would 
  actually make more sense for me if this was the icon to
  leave the record edit mode without making changes.

Cheers,

	Oliver
