gui: the window says where things begin and end by donislawdev · Pull Request #116 · donislawdev/TestingFilesGenerator

donislawdev · 2026-09-21T22:23:27Z

What the owner saw

From the running window: the whole thing runs together - nothing says where a section ends, where a box begins or what is a button. Measured on the shot, every structural surface sat within 1.0 to 1.8:1 of its neighbour, and the palette's role table had classed the boundary between a panel and the page as decoration with no threshold.

What ships

The owner's list, each point shown in the running window before it was kept:

A section draws a line round its edge again, in the separator's colour. The guard that forbade the line now requires it, and the fill under it still has to clear the page.
A field's name stands over its box rather than beside it, in an ink a step under the value's. The byte count goes under the box. The column of names, the widest-name arithmetic, the hand kept list of every name and the guard holding that list complete all go with the column - a width nothing draws is a number waiting to be wrong.
Preview, Choose, Duplicate and Add a batch stand on the button's own surface, brighter than a box to type in - asked for by name and by distance.
A fold inside a section is titled at the rank of a subheading, and the pointer lights only its words rather than the whole row.
A field's explanation opens with an edge and a shade below it.

Turned down after being built and shown: a menu raised like a button, a brighter edge round a box to type in, and two whole looks drawn from guidelines and from other applications measured on this machine.

Guards

Nine went red in one run of the package and each was rewritten to what the window does now. Two assertions added for the new behaviour: the fold's fill narrower than its row, the name's ink readable on the panel and a step under the value. 26 stored screen pictures regenerated. The type ceiling followed the widest type down to 26 methods. Mutation entries: six re-aimed, two removed with the column of names, three added, every pattern found once.

Run locally: the cheap whole-tree gates plus every guard of every touched file (121, green), gofmt, vet, lint, staticcheck. Not run locally by the owner's decision: the full suite and the full mutation run - this CI is the first full run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

UI Improvements
- Reorganized configuration, preset, and recipe forms into clearer vertically stacked sections.
- Added distinct bordered panels, improved spacing, and full-width controls for easier scanning.
- Updated labels, section headings, foldouts, and validation messages for clearer hierarchy.
- Refreshed button styling, including more distinct secondary, Preview, Choose, and batch-action buttons.
- Improved hover highlighting so it focuses on labels and content rather than entire rows.
- Enhanced explanatory overlays with visible borders and subtle drop shadows.

…om the running window The owner's report from the running window: the whole thing runs together, nothing says where a section ends, where a box begins or what is a button. Measured on the shot, every structural surface sat within 1.0 to 1.8:1 of its neighbour, and the palette's role table had classed the boundary between a panel and the page as decoration with no threshold. Two whole looks were built and shown and turned down. What ships is the list the owner gave, each point shown in the running window before it was kept: - a section draws a line round its edge again, in the separator's colour (the guard that forbade the line now requires it, and the fill under it still has to clear the page); - a field's name stands over its box rather than beside it, in an ink a step under the value's, and the byte count goes under the box - so the column of names, the widest-name arithmetic, the hand kept list of every name and the guard holding that list complete all go, because a width nothing draws is a number waiting to be wrong; - Preview, Choose, Duplicate and Add a batch stand on the button's own surface, brighter than a box to type in, asked for by name and by distance; - a fold inside a section is titled at the rank of a subheading, and the pointer lights only its words rather than the whole row; - a field's explanation opens with an edge and a shade below it. Turned down and written up rather than left half in: a menu raised like a button, a brighter edge round a box to type in, both looks built from guidelines or from other applications measured on this machine.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces shared label-column form rows with stacked fields. It updates theme colors, panel borders, buttons, fold headers, tooltip layers, screen fixtures, visual guards, and the unreleased changelog.

Changes

UI layout and visual styling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stacked field architecture `internal/gui/parts/field.go`, `internal/gui/parts/fields.go`, `internal/gui/window/`	Fields now stack labels above controls. Shared label-column measurement and row helpers were removed.
Theme and visual contracts `internal/gui/parts/button.go`, `internal/gui/parts/theme.go`, `internal/gui/parts/parts.go`, `internal/gui/parts/fold*.go`	Labels, buttons, panel borders, tooltip layers, and fold-head highlights now use dedicated styling.
Screen fixture reflow `internal/guard/testdata/screens/*`	Generator, preset, recipe, catalogue, and About fixtures now reflect stacked fields, bordered panels, filled buttons, and resized content.
Visual guard updates `internal/guard/*_test.go`	Tests now check stacked spacing, label contrast, bordered surfaces, button colors, popup layers, and fold-head widths.
Changelog `CHANGELOG.md`	The unreleased entry documents the visual changes.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b75d7

The current UI behavior is bounded, but centralized tooltip styling and the visual regression checks should be corrected before relying on this redesign long term.

Full details: No Hardcoded Ui Styling

Explanation

The PR adds Fyne UI code in internal/gui/parts/parts.go. The new tipShadow() sets a rectangle fill with the literal color overlay(0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x66). This bypasses the shared theme, unlike the surrounding PaletteColour(...) styling and tokenized RadiusField, edgeWidth, and TipShadowDrop values. The changed screen XML files are generated test fixtures, not the source of this finding.

Resolution

Add a dedicated theme color token for the tooltip shadow, define it for both dark and light variants in internal/gui/parts/theme.go, and set the rectangle through PaletteColour(...) instead of calling overlay(...) with literal channel values in tipShadow().

Inline comments:
In `@internal/guard/foldhead_test.go`:
- Around line 205-206: Update the width assertion in the foldhead rendering test
to measure the rendered title’s bounds and compare both fill edges against those
bounds. Require the fill to fully cover the title while remaining narrower than
the head row, instead of only checking that its width is positive and less than
the row width.

In `@internal/guard/spacingscale_test.go`:
- Around line 77-82: Update the loop over nameGaps to compare each field with
its following field: skip the final field, compute gapBelowField separately for
names[i] and names[i+1] using their corresponding generated fields, and compare
those per-pair gaps instead of the single precomputed between value.

In `@internal/gui/parts/parts.go`:
- Line 292: Move the tooltip shadow color out of the hardcoded overlay in
tipShadow and define a named ColorNameTipShadow palette entry for both theme
variants in theme.go. Update tipShadow to obtain the color through
PaletteColour, preserving the existing shadow appearance.
