Hi Dakshika,UX Team,
Brief Description about the feature and current implementation
===============================================
Currently I am working on the feature "*Flexibility to add/remove more
functions/buttons in the gadget title bar", *that is giving more
flexibility to gadget author to add their custom buttons and hide/show
default buttons(configurations/maximize/remove) of the gadget title bar*.*You
can get more details from above replies as well.
- We need to show the disabled button/functions in design view and only
need to hide it from view mode of dashboard.
- We need to have a design for the indication of disabled buttons/functions
in design mode.Simply we can tell that it needs to give a proper impression
that the button/function will not be shown in view mode of dashboard.
- We need to have proper responsive User Interface in case of gadget author
adding more button/functions in gadget title bar.We came up with the
solution that we can add drop-down for these huge number of buttons.
As per offline discussions with Jerad,Sharon and Sinthuja we came up with
the idea to how to show the design and view level functions/buttons, how we
are going to show the disabled button in the design mode of dashboard and
drop-down list for gadget title bar functions/buttons.
Hope I have included all the points .@Jerad Please add if I have missed
anything.So it is really helpful that we can have quick meeting on these
above topics to proceed further implementation.
