    Description

      Newbies in the training are often at first confused when using the Essentials UI of the tools. The initial screen of the Gallery Manager for example (see GM-UI-1.png) shows a red field that has a value in it ("myimageset"). They think there is an error and don't know what to do. I would improve it this way:

      • don't use such an alarming "this-is-an-error" color for fields that not yet have a value. Maybe no coloring at all is good enough.
      • make the suggestion in the field meaningful, e.g. "enter a name for a new image set"
      • the color of the "Create new imageset" button now changes from light green (not active) to darker green (button can now be used). Change this to a light grey button that changes to green. That will be much clearer. Give the button a tooltip when inactive: "Enter a name for the new Image Set first".
