JFYI, a few limitations found limitations when trying to make some yast2-users-ng UI mock-ups

  • Creating a column based grid using the HWeight widget it's a bad idea when you don't know the exactly length of labels. If they exceed the width reserved for the column, they will be cut. So,
  • Labels does not have auto wrapping
  • Input labels are always placed in above the input. There are no option to put them inline: the label on the left, the input on the right.
  • You can be tempted to use a Label and, for example, InputField combination achieve the above goal. Then, the label shortcut is missing in the terminal. In fact, you cannot assign a shorcut to a label... since the label is not aware to what input should belong.
  • The minimum input width is it's label length, which makes them looks quite ugly in some circunstances
