[Qgis-developer] Fwd: Style widget ergonomics

Hi all,

It would be nice to have the same interface for data defined properties 
in the 'Style' widget and in the 'Labels' widget.

The 'Labels' widget has a small icon on the side of each property that 
allows to specify a field or expression. The 'Style' widget has the 
'Advanced' combobox and the 'Symbol selector' has the big button 'Data 
defined properties...'

The 'Labels' small icon is my preferred option. It could be added beside 
the symbol selector properties. This would replace both the 'Advanced' 
comboboxes and 'Data defined properties...' button.

A step further would be to link this icon with the text/button/combo of 
the property it's related to. If the text/button/combo is big enough, 
the field/expression could take its place (easier to see than overing 
over the yellowed icon). If the text/button/combo is too small, it could 
be grayed out.

I would be happy to have your feedback.

V.
