Excellent. I can come up with a design improvement comp to get
started.
What do you all think about the idea of switching around the search
areas? It is a user interface thing.
Thanks

One thing that has always bugged me for user interface is the
search area. It
seems like we could modify the search area as an expandable bar
over a side
menu, when I have used the back end, the catalog browse is more
useful to me
over some of the advanced search options. Granted, the main
search is very
useful so it gets priority, however the but all of the advanced
searches are not.
I have attached a picture of what I am talking about. Just my
two bits.
Thanks

I guess it really just comes down to
the approach. The objective of the task
was to update the Flat Grey theme. So, I
approached the design as a realign rather than a redesign.
I did not look at
any other themes as examples, I simply focused on
how Flat Grey looked and functioned and then tried to make
the smallest
amount of CSS and markup changes possible in order to
achieve the objective and stay with the scope of the task.
I understand your bias, because I have it as well, as
probably every other
active OFBiz developer does. But for the average
user, the vast majority are going to select one language,
one time zone, and
one theme and then never touch this section again. Also,
for a developer
deploying OFBiz across a large organization, they may even
decide to set
these preferences globally across
the entire organization and not allow the user to have
these selections. In
that case, it becomes much easier for them because
they can simply disable the footer in the theme and it does
not affect
anything else at all.

That was exactly what I was
trying to do. It seemed even more weird to me
to have theme selection and language in the header,
but have timezone selection in the footer and to have
half of the
application links in the header and the other half in
the
footer. The new grouping is much more logical in my
opinion. All of the
applications are now grouped together in the header,
and all of the user preference selections, which are
secondary, are grouped
together in the footer.
That was true for the old Flat Grey but what about how
it's handled in
Tomahawk for instance. Maybe I'm biased though because
for testing purpose I'm always switching languages and
themes... BTW the
time zone selection is missing in Tomahawk...

Ryan can answer that question.
I believe he was trying to keep the
masthead small so there is more room for the main
