Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-1323:
-----------------------------------
Really like where you are heading with this Rob. I like the notion of sort of
guiding the user through what to do by providing more focus on the element they
are working on and making the context help available without additional action.
I presume this will handle different sizing better as well.

> Reporter: Rob Moran
> Priority: Trivial

> (I will attach mockups as they become available)
> I am starting to work on a design to modernize the look and feel of the NiFi
> UI. The initial focus of the design is to freshen the UI (flat design, SVG
> icons, etc.). Additionally, the new design will propose usability
> improvements such as exposing more flow-related actions into collapsible
> panes, improving hierarchy of information, etc.
> Going forward, the design plan is to help lay the foundation for other UI/UX
> related issues such as those documented in NIFI-951.

> *nifi-add-processor-dialog.png*
> Dialog sample. This sample shows the 'Add Processor' dialog.
> *nifi-component-samples.png*
> To show styling for all components
> *nifi-configure-processor-scheduling*
> *nifi-configure-processor-settings*
> Configure Processor dialog. See related Comments below (in Activity section).
> *nifi-dialog-sample-@800px*
> Dialog sample in 800px wide viewport. This sample shows the the 'Details' tab
> of a provenance event.
> *nifi-global-menu*
> To show global menu
> *nifi-interaction-and-menu-samples.png*
> To demonstrate user interactions - hover states, tooltips, menus, etc.
> *nifi-sample-flow-@800px*
> Shows a very useable UI down to around 800px in width. The thinking here is
> that at anything lower than this, the NiFi user experience will change to
> more of a monitoring and/or administrative type workflow. Future mockups will
> be created to illustrate this.
> *nifi-sample-flow.png*
> Mockup of sample flow. Updated to show revised tool and status bars.
> Management related actions will move to a menu via mouseover (see
> _nifi-global-menu_). Added benefits here include reducing clutter and more
> user-friendly menu with text labels to reduce time spent scanning only a
> large set of icons. This also helps gain valuable viewport width in a browser
> (see _nifi-sample-flow-@800px_)
> *nifi-shell-sample-@800px*
> Shell sample in 800px wide viewport. This sample shows the 'Data Provenance'
> table.
