Windows and Dialogs

  • The title of all windows and dialogs should be capitalized in English, but not in French.

Warning and Error messages

  • The window icon of the dialog must use the master icon or the icon of its parent plugin.
  • Display only the product, component, or wizard name in the title bar of the message to help the user determine where the problem is. Do not summarize the problem in the title bar or include the word "error".
  • Use italicized text to distinguish explanatory or descriptive text from the main instructions. For example: "The Options menu allows you to customize your settings."
