| Re: [platform-debug-dev] alternate icon for terminate |

Hi Jonh,
I haven't seen any complaints in our product, but I have to admit that I personally find the icon a little confusing. That said, and "X" is used to denote a remove action throughout Eclipse so it's not a good candidate. Do you have any ideas on how to keep the existing stop button analogy but make it less confusing for your users (e.g. accentuate the borders).

Yes, there's a suspend button next to Terminate, so this is clearly user error. Still, to the developer who just spent ten minutes launching and setting up an embedded debug session only to see his session suddenly terminate when all he wanted to do was suspend it, the mea-culpa is hard to come by. We think having a big red X instead of the red square represent Terminate would help reduce the likeliness of this type of mistake. It's very easy for us to replace the gif/png for the action in our version of Platform Debug. However, I wanted to check to see if anyone else has experienced this user behavior and would like to see this at least be easily configurable. John |
