I agree with Jacopo that layout is subjective and each user will have
their own preferences. Maybe once the Visual Themes feature is finished,
we might have the ability to choose our preferred layout.

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.

Big +1 on dropdown menu.
Also having the Application Bar replaced by a left side treeview
could IMO
improve the UI clearness.

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
for such dynamic things

Another example of its use in
https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/EditProduct
Main (maybe not : only single entries for those)
Product
Content
Categories
Associations
Features
Price
Prices
Costs
Reference (who cares to have a single menu for those ?)
Geos
Ids
Keywords
Attributes
Meters
Facility
Facilities
Locations
Inventory
Party
Suppliers
Vendor
Parties
Agreements
Accounting
Accounts
Payment Types

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.
the data would be that same as menu now so the i18n would be
preserved.
let the widgets build the menus.
my 2 cents
Jacques Le Roux sent the following on 8/10/2008 6:24 AM:
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
UI in some cases. And I'm sure this will help us to better organize
things in OFBiz.
For instance in party Profile we could have
Party actions
Link Party
Party content
Party Skills
There is only one drawback I see in this : i18n will not be as
easy and
maybe this has been aready discussed ?
Another small UI issue : we should distinguish the 2 "Link
Party" button
in this screen. I would recommend to change only the
label of the one below to "Link this party", agreed ?
