Update about logo icon (colour) to denote the chain type of the QT instance in About/ Help Message Window/ Dialog #762

pablomartin4btc · 2023-09-25T00:03:25Z

It fixes #761.

About logo icon is updated now with the correct colour indicating the chain type of the QT instance that user is running (as the splash screen), plus the title of the about window also is updated with the chain type string as in the main window.

Current splash screen screenshot

(this hasn't been touched, just to show consistency with this PR changes)

Tested it also with:

mainnet (no command line args after bitcoin-qt or bitcoin-qt -chain=main),
-regtest and
-testnet.

src/qt/utilitydialog.cpp

+void HelpMessageDialog::setAboutWindowTitle(const NetworkStyle *networkStyle)
+{
+    QString aboutTitle = tr("About %1").arg(PACKAGE_NAME);
+    if ((networkStyle) && (Params().GetChainType() != ChainType::MAIN)) aboutTitle.append(" " + networkStyle->getTitleAddText());


Why would this be nullptr? Seems easier to use a reference that is never null?

I didn't want to touch src/qt/bitcoin.cpp:

gui/src/qt/bitcoin.cpp

Line 568 in db19a7e

HelpMessageDialog help(nullptr, gArgs.IsArgSet("-version"));

And I also needed to move where the networkStyle is initialised/ set before the HelpMessageDialog constructor:

gui/src/qt/bitcoin.cpp

Line 607 in db19a7e

QScopedPointer<const NetworkStyle> networkStyle(NetworkStyle::instantiate(Params().GetChainType()));

But I can do it if that's better.

Thanks for your review @MarcoFalke, the before screenshot is on the issue #761 but I can bring it here if that makes it clearer.

@maflcko I've updated the description with your suggestion (copied @furszy's style from his PR #764, I find it less invasive for the reviewer)

@GBKS What do you think from a designer's point of view?

maflcko · 2024-02-12T14:13:15Z

Not sure. All info displayed on the About page is fixed details about the software itself, not about the current (test)chain. So modulating the icon or title bar seems confusing, but no strong opinion.

GBKS · 2024-02-15T12:30:24Z

Definitely more consistent this way.

hebasto · 2024-02-15T13:22:10Z

Not sure. All info displayed on the About page is fixed details about the software itself, not about the current (test)chain.

In that case, shouldn't the logo on the About page be black-toned?

I'm less sure about black-toned icons, in that specific case, it's more common usage I guess, users are already used to the orange one.

I think the most notable use case is when you have different instances open and you want to make sure you are standing on the correct one but more importantly the consistency regarding other components such as the splash screen and task-bar icons as pointed by @GBKS.

hebasto · 2024-05-15T17:56:07Z

#762 (comment):

Definitely more consistent this way.

Thank you @GBKS for your designer's opinion!

If you will touch this branch, mind applying clang-format-diff.py?

src/qt/utilitydialog.h

pablomartin4btc · 2024-05-19T19:33:56Z

Updates:

Addressed @hebasto's feedback.

git diff -U0 HEAD~1.. | ./contrib/devtools/clang-format-diff.py -p1 -i -v
Formatting src/qt/bitcoingui.cpp
Formatting src/qt/utilitydialog.cpp
Formatting src/qt/utilitydialog.h

As part of the above, functions were re-placed in the private section (no in slots as mistaken).
As a consequence of applying the clang-formatting, @kristapsk's feedback got addressed as well.

Tested 577d500.

On Windows, there remains some inconsistency. Running bitcoin-qt.exe -signet -about ends with a dialog with an orange-coloured icon.

Good catch... trying to get it sorted...

Adding the networkStyle parameter to the HelpMessageDialog creator on utilitydialog, updating all calls where its instance is being created from bitcoingui.cpp. In the object itself, use this new parameter object to build the about window title and set the icon of the about logo widget. Also, set th correct chain type icon at the very beginning of GuiMain() where command line arguments were validated and most of the app settings were not initialised yet.

pablomartin4btc · 2024-08-25T19:16:04Z

Updates:

Addressed @hebasto's feedback.
Fixed the error message window inconsistency detected by @hebasto above.

Now running qt from the command line with bitcoin-qt.exe -signet -about (or similar command with an invalid argument) will show the correct chain type icon at the top left of the title bar (this is only happening in Windows at the moment).
