Status
------

This change has been marked as submitted.


Review request for KDE Edu and KDE Usability.


Changes
-------

Submitted with commit 5e27c8c3da7cd95d9bc84649babc9d045c97e109 by Julian Helfferich \
to branch Applications/16.04.


Repository: parley


Description
-------

I have redesigned the Multiple Choice Practice Widget. Instead of QRadioButtons, the \
new design uses QPushButtons and tweaks their appearance using Qt Style Sheets making \
sure that the design works with all themes available on Get Hot New Stuff. The \
results are displayed in the screenshots attached:

New design:
In screenshot 1, entry 2 has keyboard focus while the mouse is hovering over entry 5. \
This uses the Gray theme. In screenshot 2, the wrong entry 3 was selected. \
Additionally, the correct entry 2 is highlighted. Here, the Darkness theme is used. \
In screenshot 3, the correct entry 3 was selected. Here, the Bees theme is used.

Old design:
Screenshots 4-6 correspond to screenshots 1-3, but using the old design for \
comparison.

I think, the new approach has some advantages over the old QRadioButton approach.

* Labels 1-5 indicate that entries can be selected by using this numbers as \
                shortcuts.
* Borders around the words instead of underlining the word makes it clearer which \
                entry is selected.
* Black text on light red or light green background is more legible than red/green \
text.

I have put much thought into this change and while I think the new approach is an \
improvement, I have also come to appreciate the QRadioButton approach. I am looking \
forward to hear your thoughts.

Practiced words:

* Selected correct entry
