Hello,
here's a patch that improves the layout of the pinentry dialogs when the
quality bar is shown. The patch includes the following changes:
- The gtk2 and qt based pinentries now have the quality bar below the text
entry for the passphrase and both are aligned and have the same size.
- Both pinentry show a tooltip for the quality bar that briefly explains its
purpose.
- The quality bar in the gtk2 pinentry used to change its height when the
user began to type because the text shown in the bar changed. This is now
fixed.
TODO:
- Translate the texts introduced by the patch.
Possible further improvements:
The tooltip of the quality bar is a very generic hint that tells the user to
ask the administrator for details about the quality criteria. It would be
better if the tooltip were set by the administrator so that it explains the
the actual rules for the quality.
Regards,
Bernhard
