#1317: Nicer "Smiley Themes" preferences tab
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: lithium | Type: enhancement
Status: new | Priority: minor
Component: pidgin (gtk) | Version: 2.0.1
Keywords: | Pending: 0

Right now the dialog relies on D&D and there is no (obvious?) way to
delete a smiley theme from within Pidgin. I propose to change the dialog
as seen in the following screenshot, for the following reasons:
- Accessibility: depending on the user's input, D&D could be
impossible/hard to do
- Discoverability: Right now a 3-line text tells the user how to install
themes... having a simple button makes this text obsolete and is more
clear (people unaware of D&D would perhaps not know what "dragging" to the
dialog means means)
- Internationalization: the leading text is shortened (perhaps can be made
even shorter by using a small headline), easing translations.
- Unification: the exact same dialog layout is used in the new GNOME 2.20
theme capplet, where you can chose/install/remove gtk themes, icon themes,
etc
- Feature improvement: this adds a simple way to add a delete command.
After all, the D&D can still be supported as an alternate way to do
things.
