Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-1959:
------------------------------------------
This looks very promising -- but also like a big change in various rendering
areas.
Can we do this step by step aka "page by page" ?
Anyways, a big +1 for pursuiing this.
... and investigation of internationalization would be a nice thing.
> Move towards unified L&F and extended branding support

> Currently the Web Console uses heavily on the JQuery framework. Using a
> unified JavaScript framework simplifies development of all plugins and
> unifies the used approach.
> However, when talking about visual styling, there are number of differences
> because each plugin developer uses own styles.
> My suggestion is to adopt the JQuery UI . The benefits of using it as unified
> widget/css framework are:
> - no time to spend on writing widgets already in the library
> - clean CSS visual styling
> - easy way to change the L&F by changing the theme (extended branding
> support!)
> - improved cross-browser support (JQuery UI takes care of CSS differences)
> Using the JQuery UI framework the developer shouldn't care about color but
> only for layout - components position; and for data being displayed.
> To illustrate the benefits I've saved the "Log Service" page, modified it to
> use JQuery UI, took screen-shot, modified the theme CSS only, and again took
> screen-shot, and finally added the original L&F for reference, so you can
> easily compare the result.
> The attached image contains the combined screen-shots.
