Speaking as a native Brit, I much prefer menu items and setting names in title case. Take the main menu in sentence case as an example: Files Database Resume playback Settings Recording FM radio Playlists Plugins Systems My eyes are drawn straight away to the words "playback" and "radio": these look out of place here (sloppy, even) without capitalisation. I don't think Rockbox should differ from the vast majority of English software (UK, US or otherwise) in this respect. I think it goes without saying that dialogs should be using sentence case. Just my 2p sterling... Rob. Received on 2008-08-18 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
