(In reply to Pavel Stehlik from comment #0) > ... > IPv6: > Save with "Prefix Length". I assume Pavel meant "same". good suggestion - see attachment 897271 [details].
*** Bug 1105724 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Thanks for the UX input. The reason why the fields were not moved there - and why it is not possible right away to do this - is that the TUI must also fit on the classic 80x24 screen. The layout would not work on small screens if we pulled all the fields into one row. But I am open to suggestions of how to improvfe this, but please take the 80x24 resolution into account.
Fabian, why does the suggestion as appears in Comment #2/3 will not fit the classic 80x24 screen (I assume that by "80x24" you mean "1280x1024")?
I think he means that it has to be able to fit in the standard terminal dimensions, which are 80 characters wide by 24 lines tall.
A 80 columns x 24 rows physical console (serial console, OOB KVMs, or keyboard/mouse/monitor directly attached to the RHEV-H node).
It is like Matt and Ryan said, I was referring to the classic terminal size of 80 cols by 24 rows. And I doubt that it is possible to fit the suggested layout into those dimensions. But, can you come up with a layout suggestion which fits into the dimension? Then we can try to realize this.
thanks for the clarification, guys. neither me nor the two UX designers I was consulting with knew that such resolution exists and all of were sure that you were referring to the "1280x1024" resolution - I apologize. @Liz - now that we know that "80x24" literally means "80x24": any creative ideas?
Created attachment 918699 [details] UX improvement idea for NIC details Yes, thanks for the extra clarification. A few of my thoughts from a UX perspective, keeping in mind the 80x24 constraints… 1) Is it possible to improve the spacing/alignment between field labels and values? I think if we can clean up where the extra space is put, it would make the current layout more readable to the user. - Align settings in the first column so they all have the same left alignment. - Reduce the amount of space between Radio options (IPv4 Bootprotocol and IPv6 Bootprotocol) - Include a bit more space between column 1 settings and column 2 settings. Please see attachment. Are any of these updates possible? Thanks, Liz
