Had a few questions in chat about the webtop, i thought I might sub-edit for this thread.
Overall look... It's early days but we are definitely going for the simple, minimalist, big and chunky feel. There will be some media queries to make larger screens have larger text in general. Current colour scheme is FarCry Blue, but the new, frameless, HTML5 markup will make theming the webtop very straightforward, and we may even ship with several colour themes out of the box. User preferences... Additions to webtop profile data will allow some things to be tailored at the user level. For example, favourites, help states, colour theme, etc On tree moves... Current thoughts are that MOVE, will be a state you can toggle on. When you are finished making changes, you would be asked to commit those changes. That is, actual changes in the tree model will only occur once you commit changes and not during moves within the UI. Basically in "move mode" you won't be able to do anything but move things until you either cancel move or commit changes. Top menu stickiness... There's a lot of subtle features even in the HTML prototype. For example, if the viewport is large enough, the top nav stays in place (sticky) but if the viewport is too small the top nav does not stick. Cunning, eh. Server settings... The little green bar at the top is an example of server specific notifications -- we sometimes have trouble with clients adding production content into their dev/stage servers. Hopefully this sort of optional branding will help larger installations. That is all for now.
