Re: changed texts Reply #2 – August 10, 2009, 06:25:46 pm I use "mirror schedule" in my en.tab for Simutrans-Experimental, which accurately describes the function and fits the button nicely. Quote Selected
Re: changed texts Reply #3 – August 11, 2009, 06:39:40 am The text on the "inverse" button on the station list filter is also too long for its size. Would "inv." be too cryptic?Edit: Perhaps the "Filter types:" label should be changed to "Station types:" or "Stop types:" (which is more generic?) to reflect that all the filters under that category are stops/stations?Edit II: (sorry about posting before thinking... *smile*) There is also a problem of balance between "Goods needed" and "Production". German "Nimmt an" and "Gibt ab" much more naturally forms a pair. Maybe "Incoming goods" and "Outgoing goods" would work, but I am afraid they are a bit long.

I think it would be easier to get a consistent UI if all of them were in button_text since they would be easier to compare then. Is that possible to achieve? Quote Selected

And I have myself not yet so intense so addressed to all texts grouping. Previously everything was program_text. Quote Selected
Re: changed texts Reply #7 – August 12, 2009, 07:35:47 pm In cases where the full description is too long to fit on a button, I favour using an abbreviation and then having a tooltip with the full description. Quote Selected
