[Changed in one UI] Top right bottom left as box parameter order like in CSS

Post by porg »

UIs with numerical fields for the 4 sides of a box:
• should ideally be positioned really top, left, bottom, right.
• but where this is not possible and where the need to be in a layout column or layout row the order should be like in CSS when stating the 4 box values combined.
• Recommending to follow CSS convention as it is the strongest open standard regarding visual formatting and now around for 25 years.

Cool! So macOS already adapted to the CSS order too. Makes sense.

My concrete screenshot from "Add/remove margins" in the batch conversion UI was an example.
I assume in total in GC there are countless UIs incorporating "top right bottom left" parameters.
Did you manage a uniform order of "top right bottom left" in all UIs of GC?

I guessed so. B/c I assume changing all occurrences is quite an undertaking.

Naive idea: You could do some regex searching through your UI build files for files containing 2-4 hits from the word group "top right bottom left" to find that somehow systematic at least.
