Bug 78622

I think the buttons are being true to the commands they represent when a user is typing them, so i dont think it needs to be elaborated in the tooltips.

@jmadero & @qubit: What do you think?

Testing Version: 4.3.0.0.beta1 + Ubuntu 12.04.4

The button icons seem decent to me, however when they are docked next to other toolbars it isn't immediately obvious that they are intended for LOGO purposes. For example, the icons for "Left" and "Right" look very similar to the icons for "Undo" and "Redo".

As for the tooltip text, some of it is rather confusing. There's a button of an empty page with tooltip "Clear Screen"; it's kind of confusing that pressing that button doesn't clear the screen/page in Writer.

One possible solution would be to put a little turtle graphic (e.g. an isosceles triangle) in the corner of each LOGO-related button. I'd also suggest that each tooltip be made more LOGO-descriptive. Even "FORWARD 10" might be confusing unless it's "LOGO: FORWARD 10" or "Move LOGO turtle FORWARD 10"

The "Clear Screen" tooltip and button equal to the logo 'CLEARSCREEN' command which clears the output of the logo turtle.

I would suggest the toolbar would have a turtle as its first icon in the toolbar, so when its docked it easily understandable that everything else in the toolbar is logo related, as a turtle graphic in each icon will not be visible in the small icon size.

I know nothing about LibreLogo - that's why I added nemeth to the cc as he's the one with the knowledge here

I understand that the tooltips are one thing, and the button images are something else. Button images seems ok to me.

Some buttons represent commands that can be typed in LibreLogo. So, I think it would be more consistent to use a more precise tooltip. There is no way to type FORWARD without parameters; so, it would be better to use a tootip with "FORWARD 10", since the turtle moves 10 pts with this button.

About buttons, I agree that it could be confusing for the newbies to show the Logo toolbar and see these buttons next to the "normal" buttons. One suggestion is to include a new button in Logo bar to be the first button, with the image of a turtle. This button could be used to open the Logo help screen.

I think the NEEDINFO part was answered.

@Stuart, @Heiko: What do you think of the changing of these tooltips?

LibreLogo help article wef 4.4.0

I'd tend to agree with OP.

The LibreLogo command should be used as the tool-tip for these buttons.

so:
   FORWARD 10
   BACKWARD 10
   LEFT 15°
   Right 15°

From the LibreLogo help (attached):

"Turtle moving icons:--
They are equivalents of the Logo commands “FORWARD 10”, “BACK 10”, “LEFT 15”, “RIGHT 15”. Clicking on one of the icons will also focus the turtle shape scrolling the page to its position."

Also, since this is kind of specialized educational function--some redesigned "Turtle" specific icons would probably be appropriate.

The suggestion sounds reasonable. But I never tried this extension.
