---------------------------------------
Ryan,
A few tips based on the contributor best practices documented here:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best+Practices
1. put new patches in new issues, especially when the existing issue is already
committed and closed (like in this case the issue is closed, so the patch is a
fix of existing functionality and should be in a separate issue)
2. always create patches from the ofbiz home directory so that it can be
applied with a "patch -p 0 < mychanges.patch" type of command from the ofbiz
home/root directory
3. new files don't need to be attached separately, and in this case it looks
like it is included in the main patch (as long as you do an "svn add" before
doing the "svn diff" then it will be fine

> Hi all,
> we have discussed several times about a new backoffice layout with drop-down
> menus to have less crowded screens.
> I am experimenting some solutions and I would like to show you what I came to
> in order to discuss about it.
> What you can see in the screenshots attached is based on an new visual-theme
> but also on several changes in the decorators.
> The idea is to have a breadcrumbs that is a drop-down menu also.
> The leftmost Item is always "Home" and when the user hover on it the
> applications menu is shown up.
> Then the user can select an application and the application name is shown in
> the second position of the breadcrumbs.
> If the user hovers on it the selected application menu is shown and the user
> can select an option that is shown in third position on breadcrumbs.
> The idea is to have the breadcrumbs to incorporate both the applications
> menu, the single application menu and the tab bars.
> At the right ent of the same line of the breadcrumbs (in the white background
> region) the actual screen name should be visible.
> I think that this way of navigating offers to the user a complete view of all
> applications as a whole.
> For the moment I only attach screenshots to this jira because I need to clean
> my code to make a presentable patch. 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.
