If you press the clear button in the log section, you will get this alert window, asking for confirmation. This is good, but the window itself has multiple issues:

a) alert windows don't have a window title
b) the headline should describe the action, more like "Clear old log entries?" than the current "Are you sure?"
c) the buttons should be [Cancel][Clear], not [No][Yes]. This way the user can make sense of the buttons without reading the whole alert window.

Comment 1 Stewart Adam 2010-06-23 02:09:19 UTC 
I've fixed (a) and (b), (c) requires a bit more work since I would have to redo my dialog system... I will work on that in the next release.
