Hi, having though about "labelling" this is likely the best that can be managed for the Diff tools UI without refactoring some large chunks of Monticello.

Comments/ideas welcome...

Hi Gary, I like the first one especially if it would be part of the Diff morph. This morph could then be used in another context as well. There would be two things I would maybe change: 1. Right now, you color both in the same way, but you distinguish the labels via a background color. Perhaps, if the panes would be colored in the same way as the labels, it would be better. Also, I would rather opt for a white background because text is better readable in this context. 2. I would decrease the thickness of the divider Cheers, Doru On 5 Feb 2010, at 00:44, Gary Chambers wrote:

So, which layout style would be prefered? I'll wait for answers before versioning...

Hi Gary, thanks for this. I feel the panel headings layout in alternative-layout.png helps to make clearer which panel contains which version. And merge.png is the best for me for 'intention revealing'. Is the layout of merge.png with the headings as in alternative-layout.png possible? ...Stan -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Diff-morphs-tp1469095p1469972.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Well, it think we'll go with "alternative" then. Still enough space for the, very, long package names (especially with full author names)!. @Doru... I did try with white background colour before posting. Too "in your face" considering it is merely a hint as to what is going on and also not editable. As for divider, there is none... down to border width and layout inset. Needed some, to start with I had none and looked quite bad. Remember, this has to work with all themes too...

Thanks a lot, Gary! I like alternative layout.
