[Evolution-hackers] evolution's UI, consistency and codebase



Hi list,

big title, but probably not a big deal (at least for the case I'm
exposing)

After reading [1] and [2] and part of the HIG, I started to see lots of
bad dialogs in evolution. I've already tried to fix some of this UI
badness (imap-features plugin) but today I came across the "Customize
View" dialog and I wanted to talk about it :)

First thing that hit me was that it didn't use GtkTreeView and that it
doesn't understand _ markup. I know evolution has its own ETable widget
and that it does thing that evolution needs and gtk+ doesn't provide but
why use this widget here ?

The second thing is the "Edit" button. It is not the same as everywhere
I looked in the preferences window, this is bad.

Last point is, why is the mail view headers fixed (like not look like
buttons) in 2.10 and not the other views as well (memos, calendars,
contacts)

Please advise.
