Hi all
from forum:
--- %< --- I just upgraded to 2.5.3. I am thankful for the bug fixes, but I must say that I don't care for the icons for actions. Too cryptic. Especially if you haven't used phpMyAdmin before. (Although, I've been using it for a long time.)
May I suggest that a mode that combines the icon with the text might be the best default setting for new users. Leave the terse cyptic icon only view for people who are very familiar with the program and want to conserve on screen real estate. --- %< ---
I completely agree with that, just icons are IMHO not the best default...
I disagree. Instead, we should think about how we could make our icons better.
Text does take too much GUI space. This is basically why I'd prefer the iconic view.
As a compromise, we could try to make some JS Tooltips that appear instantly next to the pointer if you move it over an icon.
Regards,
Alexander
