    Hi,

    I would like to recommend one little thing to add permanently in CSS file (manager/templates/default/css/index.css) for hint text.

    Hint text under fields in Configuration should be more obvious and readable.

    Here is what I added, not much, but it makes big difference for users.

    .desc-under {
    color: #999;
    display: block;
    font-style: italic;
    text-align: justify;

    /* Added lines */
    font-size: 14px;
    margin-top: 2px;
}


    See also in attachment how it looks now and how it should look like.

      That's unlikely to be implemented unless you submit it as an issue here: https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/issues (or better yet, a pull request).

        It comes down to personal preference. Me, I prefer the current. What might be a better solution is to make this (and potentially other UI settings) configurable. I don't really understand MODx's architecture well enough to know how feasible that is.

          Ok, I will submit a pull request.

          It could be this way. And it would be very good to make this configurable.

          My reason for the changes is to improve the visibility of the hint text for users who use MODx / Bootstrap template and for clients who just want to click here or click there.

            That precipitates to be able to individual personal preference. Me personally, I prefer the actual. What may very well be an even better answer is always to choose this (and probably different URINARY INCONTINENCE settings) configurable. When i do not actually fully grasp MODx's architecture very well to find out precisely how feasible that is.

              I think a lot of people wish they could change that URINARY INCONTINENCE setting. wink
