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 > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FELIX-1959 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1959 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Web Console > Reporter: Valentin Valchev > Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler > Priority: Minor > Attachments: jqueryui-vs-default-lnf.png, tb6.jar > > > 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. > " -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
