I like the app bar as it is too :o) However I'm not really satisfied by the new buttons at bottom. But that's another story, we find ideas at time...

yes, they could be improved; and also the screen header could be enhanced adding a new button to collapse it (and just leave minimal information... useful for the users that don't jump around the applications and just use a few screens, but they need as much space as possible.

They seem to me rather subjective arguments... for example, in my opinion having the application bar at the top of the screen is useful to give more space for lists with many columns.

Also having the Application Bar replaced by a left side treeview could IMO

I agree that using widgets would be cool, enhancing menu widget actually. But I was also thinking about using CSS. I remember you sent a link about http://www.opencube.com. Though some argue that JavaScript should be used

we already have drop down for widgets

menus now are hand edited, so there is not real way yet to management.

so all we need is an menu entity
then build a menu tree using the entity.

let the widgets build the menus.

my 2 cents


Jacques Le Roux sent the following on 8/10/2008 6:24 AM:

the data would be that same as menu now so the i18n would be preserved.

I wonder if we should not add dropdow menu capability to OFBiz. We would

them be able to show a less cluttered and easier to read

things in OFBiz.
For instance in party Profile we could have

Party actions
                 Link Party
                 Party content
                 Party Skills


maybe this has been aready discussed ?


in this screen. I would recommend to change only the
label of the one below to "Link this party", agreed ?

Jacques

UI in some cases. And I'm sure this will help us to better organize There is only one drawback I see in this : i18n will not be as easy and Another small UI issue : we should distinguish the 2 "Link Party" button
