General UI consideration on dialogs w/ long option lists

Recommended Posts

I was thinking that in some dialogs, for instance the Find dialog, there are lists of checkboxes that scroll out of the dialog by only one or two lines. This can cause the user to ignore certain settings that are scrolled out of view.

 

While those dialogs were probably designed for the 80x25 resolution (e.g. the Find dialog is 20 lines high), nowadays there is sufficient screen estate to warrant the extension of these dialog boxes.

 

Of course, the best compromise would be to just extend the dialogs downwards to a height based on the largest checkbox list and leave the other elements in the dialog intact.
