Hi Oleksiy,

I agree with you, it is not intuitively understandable.

I also think that "OK" button is required there.

Added "Now" and "Done" buttons.
See in development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-3972

Eduards, i tested dev branche.
I think the button "Now" has a not very good place. Maybe it can be on top of calendar or so? I.e. it should not be at the same level as "Done" button. IMO.

And i hope for 2.0 buttons will have a another style? or even for 1.8 the style should be harmonious with GUI?.
Simple style buttons look not very well

Oleksiy, check dev branche. Now it's look like in "calendar.png"

Eduards, firstly, thanks for fast implementation !
Yes, i saw new buttons style before you posted last comment But i waiting for additional changes
Now is much better, but i still think about better position for the "Now" button. I think you need more feedback from another users and developers too of course.

And i'm thinking - maybe "Now" button should close the calendar immediately? i.e. - we do not need to click "Done" after "Now"
For instance: calendar closes after we click to date, so it would be logical to close calendar after click to Now.

Additionally to my previous post - or maybe calendar should not closes after click to date, and only after click to Done? I don't know what is better for usability.

my suggestions :

1. move buttons on the same line as time input fields, remove "Time" title (it is helpful, but breaks layout too much, and those fields seem to be intuitively understandable. additionally, we don't have "year", "month" or "date" titles )

2. do not close calendar when clicking either on date or "now"

otherwise, this should be a small but really nice usability improvement for the calendar

Take a look at the hacked "proposed_buttons_position.png"
I suggest to make "Now" button aligned to left and "Done" aligned to right and make some distance between them to better distinction -> usability.

Buttons “Now” and “Done” are located in a separate line because after translation into other languages it can arise situation that text will exceed the scope. For example in russian Now can be translated as “Сейчас”, Done as “Подтвердить” or “Завершить”..

Eduards, good point, but, i already thought about that
And thanks for a care about translators.

I have a huge experience for similar translation "troubleshooting" for two languages.
For instance: your suggestion to translate "Done" as “Подтвердить” is not very good. For such simple words (which with a high probability can be used in the other GUI places, especially for 2.0) i would do a literal translation as "Готово". It's much more accurate and a bit shorten word

But sometimes (as for this case) we (translators) don't have other choice then discard such rule and we are doing a NOT literal translation or shortening. And it's not so scary.
For Russian translations can be “Сейчас”, "Да".
For Ukrainian translations "Зараз", "Так" will be ok - i checked it visually.
I'm not sure for other languages.

And now i want last time to ask - why you do not want to use "Ok" text (as i suggest from the beginning)? This word translated as is for all languages, and we will not have any problems with the place for translation word "Now".

Additionally i want to take your attention to my previous suggestion to move "Now" on top. For instance place it under "Months" selector with the same style as for Moths, Years. I see that logical. Then we can use "Done" (if you really want it) button without any problems for translation.

Sorry, too many text, but i would like to share my opinion

good point on translation lengths. maybe the popup could stretch horizontally in that case ? (but do that in a not too ugly way )
