I’ve noticed a few UI prompts that feel a bit informal for such a professional tool.
For example, in SmartFavorites and Folder Aliases,
Maybe "Really…" is fine, but "OK to…" definitely could use a polish.
In my opinion, maybe something like this is better:
"Delete the ... alias?" or "Confirm deletion of..." or "Remove the settings for ..."
Starting directly with a verb is more concise and intuitive.
What do you all think — does wording matter to you, or am I overthinking it?
After all the bugs have been found and fixed and all the features implemented, then enhance these texts - maybe, or just leave them as is, they add to the personality of the program.. o).
I did not feel the need to have different dialog texts in the past.
For modern UI standards, you would also need to replace "Ok" with "Delete", but modern UI is not always what just worked for 30 years already, so.. it's fine, don't touch it. o)
I don't want to end up with a program that hides scrollbars, makes them very narrow, puts buttons into the window title bar, does not use native window decorations or applies weird theming to the window to make it "pretty" but don't comply to OS standards anymore and so on. So no, just leave it all old school and functional please.. o))
Don’t most dialogs in “modern” UIs start with :( Oopsie whoopsie!! these days? I think Opus is reasonably formal compared to what Google and Microsoft are making these days. Even the BSOD now has a big sad-face emoji on it.
