Hi,

We should not annoy the user with Confirmation dialogs if the change is
undo-able (which _is_ the case).
So _one_ warning would be ok, if some of the styles are in use. But if
they are not, we don't need a Confirm dialog.
Every time anaction is un-doable, then no warning is necessary.
Now, to the topic: style-s deletion.
-- People using styles and managing them are -- unfortunately -- very few.
and
-- People using styles and managing them know what they do when they
add/change/delete one ore more styles.
Thus, a confirmation dialog is unnecessary for them.
Moreover, the proposal I read above in this thread seems an half-full plate:
The previous behavior was: you get a message box with text depending
on the fact you're trying to delete an used style or not. If so you
get a message:
You are deleting an applied Style!
Do you really want to delete Style <name>?
Options: YES NO
To a newbie, this is too much or not enough. Too much because the action
can be undone, as stated above; not enough because the user is not told
what the consequences can be.
To a power user, this is a disruption in his workflow.
If the style isn't used you get the same message but without the first
rule:
Do you really want to delete Style <name>?
Options YES NO
Same here: if I delete the style, what are the consequences? -> state it
or stay silent.
So, as you might have guessed ;) my proposal is to get rid of any
message box for that matter.
