McIDAS-V Team Meeting Minutes - August 9, 2007

Talked about the following items in the User Interface --

Toolbar
- can change sizes and configure the location of buttons
- open source icons from the tango project

Bring window to the front
- hard to see which window is highlighted (JonB will make the color a preference for better visibility)

Show dashboard
- currently not working (BruceF will work on this)

3 panels
- the left vertical bar and the legend "should" apply to the highlighted panel (BruceF will look at how difficult this is to do)
- also note that the word "Displays" on the right was changed to "Legend"

Terms (from Don Murray)
View -> a viewport that contains displays
View Window - holds one or more Views
Display -> Data depiction (e.g. Map Display)
