The new window is closer to the rest of TextMate’s UI. Yes, it looks heavier because there are more controls than the previous commit window (the text view’s status bar) and it uses textured controls because it’s using a textured window.
I am not sure what to take from this. You want a visually lighter commit window that doesn’t use the textured window look? If so, the text view’s status bar would probably need to be updated to match such window.
Though this is one of the things where I suggest you use it for a few weeks before commenting on how it subjectively feels, although specific suggestions/mockups are received with gratitude.
- The bottom bar doesn't look like the one in the main window
Should it? The main window has a status bar with info to be read, the commit window has a bottom bar with actions represented via bordered controls.
- It's not possible to change the height of the commit message text
view
You can resize the window to make it taller (TODO set auto-save name for the window).
- The cancel button doesn't properly work. The other window that also
opens still waits for a commit message (or something) after the commit window is closed
By “doesn’t properly work” you mean that the HTML output window does not (also) go away? But instead writes that the commit was cancelled?
