jed-software.com: Embarcadero: Dont hide behind bad design

$

Recently I created an QC report to try and get the default wizard behaviour changed to be user friendly.

The issue is that the description text for the wizard item only shows when the mouse is hovered over the item. This means that keyboard navigation will never show the description nor will just opening the dialog initially, unless you magically have your mouse in the wrong spot.

Apparently, this is the way the wizard has been designed.

Report No: 115353 (RAID: 38977) Status: Closed
The mobile wizard doesn’t show a description using you hover over the item

Another item that is also “As Designed” is the text used to describe the blank application item in the wizard. This text states:

“The Blank Application Template is a jumping off point for creating a completely custom mobile application.”

Now I acknowledge that English was the subject I liked the least at school but that sentence could be improved.

Here are a couple of alternatives that I’ve thought about in the past ten seconds.

  1. “The Blank Application Template is the starting point for creating a custom mobile application.”
  2. “Use the Blank Application Template to create a custom mobile application.”

Perhaps you can add your own.
