Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-2118: ---------------------------------------- I like very much this new theme. But I have the feeling that it could be even better. We should try to create an "hybrid" theme between "Chrome" and "Light-Blue". Actually it would keep most of "Light-Blue", only one point would be mixed : we woul keep the tabs for main application. This would create a theme looking like look desktop UI (on any platform) : a main horizontal top menu (here tabs) from where you can open dropdown menus. This is only an idea I did not consider the difficulties but I guess as tabs are also menu, it should be doable. We could put another main color in place of light blue and call it "Desktop" My early 2 cts :) > Drop-down Applications Bar > -------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-2118 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2118 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: ALL COMPONENTS > Reporter: Bruno Busco > Assignee: David E.

I just want to hear if you think this is > a model that we can go through. If the community agrres on this that I will > spend more time to clean the code and submit a patch. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
