Gavin Mabie commented on OFBIZ-6516:
------------------------------------

Check widget-style attribute in many *Form.xml/*Menu.xml files - referenced by ModelFormField.java & ModelMenuItem.java and rendered as className by MacroFormRenderer.java. Currently "buttontext" is defined in style.css for all themes.

> Icons can be used to great effect to enhance both the user experience and as well as the look-and-feel of an application.  In Ofbiz this is facilitated by using meaningful styles name in the widget-style attribute.  Examples are "buttontext create", buttontext delete/remove", "buttontext update".  That takes care of the basic CRUD actions.  The widget-style attribute is used by front-end designers (on the presentation layer) to create their own designs via macro libraries, stylesheets and javascript files.  It will be useful for designers if widget-styles are defined in a standard way in widget definitions (*forms.xml, *menu.xml etc).  To set this process in motion I propose the following:
> 1. All "buttontext" widget-style attributes should have a meaningful additional class which describes the action linked to the button, i.e create, update, delete, refresh - depending on the action.
> 2. Add missing descriptive classes like "copy, print, view, download, save" etc.
