10. NOTES
There are several types of note that inform the user or that request user actions. Here is a list of notes and some
guidelines on how to use them:
- The notes are located in the centre of the screen, if not specified otherwise.
- Notes have a drop shadow, and in most cases the background dims when the note appears.
- Frame and size dimensions are the same for Notes as for Dialogs.
- Notes only fit five lines of text, and do not scroll in most cases.
Keep messages short and to the point:
- The messages are only on the screen for a short time, so the user will not be able to read and understand a
message that is very long.
- Remove the predicate (verb ‘to be’) unless it helps to remove ambiguity: ‘‘Entry copied.’’
Do not use 'Busy' when you could be more specific. For example, while connecting to the server, use 'Connecting to
the server <server_name>…' .
