 Update the Flat Grey visual theme. Design objectives:
 1. Floating, flexible layout - screen can be resized.
 2. Sight impaired accessible - users can change font size in their browser.
 3. Supports RTL layout.
 4. Does not require JavaScript. JavaScript can be used to add embellishments, 
 but the theme can't depend on it.

The _MACOSX folder is a hidden system folder for Apple.  Not necessary.  Feel 
free to blow that away.  My original intent was actually to create a generic 
login screen style, similar to the way the BizznessTime theme, but that task 
got lost in the shuffle.  I'll see if I can get you a new patch that addresses 
that within the next couple of days.

All in all, I think everything looks great.  I look forward to community 
feedback.

Thanks Ryan!

I will work on finalizing the theme this weekend and get it committed.

I understand an artist would have a problem with seeing scrollbars when font 
sizes are increased to a large size, but in the end the users of OFBiz have a 
job to do and work to get done. They won't mind the scrollbars if it means they 
can read the screen. Btw, on my HD widescreen monitor I can crank up the font 
size to 26 without any scrollbars. So, I'll probably put that back.

The only other mods I will make will be bug fixes. I like what you've done, and 
I believe the updated theme will benefit the community.

Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-4092:


Some thoughts on the text transformations...

The upper case transformation looks good on main navigation and the application 
title.

The lower case transformation on the application navigation looks bad. Most of 
the screen contains ul case text, and having one set of links that are all 
lower case makes that section of the screen look like it doesn't belong there. 
The same is true for the upper case buttons - they don't quite fit in with the 
rest of the screen.

My recommendation would be to keep the upper case transformations on main 
navigation and application title, and drop the rest.

Ryan Foster commented on OFBIZ-4092:


I agree with you on the casing for the navigation and title.  

The casing on the buttons, and in fact the buttons themselves, are a different 
issue entirely.  The reason why I changed the casing with CSS is because there 
is no consistency in casing in the markup and labels.  Some button labels and 
values are all caps, some are lowercase, some are normal case; it's all over 
the map. 

Button styling in OFBiz has been something that has bugged me for years and I 
think it would be very beneficial to look at this as a separate issue in the 
near future.  There are currently 13, yes 13!, different button styles 
currently defined right now.  Just look at lines 2556 through 2573 in 
maincss.css.  We have:

.buttontext,
.buttontextbig,
.smallSubmit,
.mediumSubmit, 
.largeSubmit, 
.loginButton,
.button-style-1,
.button-style-2,
.button,
button,
input[type=reset],
input[type=submit],
input[type=button]

it's kind of ridiculous.  Why can't we simply have 1 button class and call it 
some obvious like .button or .btn?  We have been having a great discussion on 
UI labeling consistency, Edit vs. Update vs. Save, etc. which is awesome, 
but I think all of that is meaningless if the buttons themselves don't look the 
same.  Okay, I'll end my rant there.  Can you tell this is something of a hot 
button issue with me, pun completely intended ;)

I understand your frustration. When the new styles were created the old styles 
were deprecated and we started to remove them - but that effort eventually 
fizzled out. In addition, we just introduced more styles with JQuery.

I agree it's a mess and we should create a new issue for that. Or we could just 
delete the deprecated styles from the style sheet and let the elements that use 
them break - that might motivate others to stop using them.

I started a Wiki page to document current styles and their intended use, but it 
hasn't been kept up-to-date:

Re: [jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-4092) Update The Flat Grey Visual Theme

2011-01-12 Thread Bruno Busco
In addition, when deprecating or selecting styles to be used we should
better use style names that describe what the button IS in the screen and
not HOW it should appear.

So style names like
.buttontextbig, .smallSubmit, .mediumSubmit, .largeSubmit,
.button-style-1, .button-style-2,

should not be used.

Style names like:
.buttontext,
.loginButton,
.button,
input[type=reset],
input[type=submit],
input[type=button]

are OK.
In this way the theme can make a button larger or smaller than another
button according to its function.

My two cents.
-Bruno

2011-01-12 Thread Ryan Foster
Bruno,

I'll see your 2 cents, and raise you a dollar.  I agree, the naming of an 
element should never dictate how it looks or behaves; that is what properties 
are for.  You are opening up a can of worms with me when you start down that 
path, so careful what you wish for.  Buttons aren't the only offenders when it 
comes to that, the problem starts with the main decorator.  The layout of the 
backend and the front end center around the fact that we have column layouts 
with classNames of .left, .right, and .center.  What if I don't want .left on 
the left anymore?...

Discussion: CSS styles (was: [jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-4092) Update The Flat Grey Visual Theme)

2011-01-12 Thread Adrian Crum
We need the smallSubmit style so we can style links to look like submit 
buttons. Maybe we could change the CSS class to a.smallSubmit to make 
sure it is used only for a elements.


The button-style-1 and button-style-2 style names are pretty generic - 
they don't indicate how the button should appear (aside from the obvious 
- that they should look like buttons). Originally, the rows of buttons 
below the page title had two styles that indicated two types of buttons: 
those that linked to other pages within the application (intra-app) and 
others that linked to pages outside the application (inter-app). That 
distinction has been lost in recent changes.


A similar thing was done with the table header styles - there are two 
styles to choose from, depending on how you use them. The style names 
don't indicate what they look like.


I don't think there is anything wrong with having more than one style to 
choose from. If we were to cut back too much on the selection, then the 
UI would start to look bland or monotonous.


I created a Wiki page that listed some of the deprecated styles and 
another page that describes the new styles and how they should be used. 
Those pages are effective only when people take the time to read them.

Re: Discussion: CSS styles (was: [jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-4092) Update The Flat Grey Visual Theme)

2011-01-12 Thread Ryan Foster
Consistency is not synonymous with monotonous.  Hey, that sounds like a good 
catch phrase... Consistency is not synonymous with monotonous™

But seriously, if different elements perform the same way then they should look 
the same and be called the same thing.  There is no reason why we can't have 
button class=btn, input type=submit class=btn, and a class=btn if 
they all do the same thing.  That doesn't make the UI bland, it makes it 
consistent and familiar.  I'm all for having options, but they should be done 
with a purpose.  For instance, we could a primary button style, a secondary 
button style and a tertiary button style, but these should be combinations, not 
individual style.  For example:

a href=# class=btn primary
a href=# class=btn secondary 
a href=# class=btn tertiary 

That way, we could apply a consistent button style and then make adjustments if 
we need to based on what action the button performs, Save vs. Cancel, etc.  But 
simply having a button-style-1, and a button-style-2 because maybe we want to 
have a blue button and a green button is not a good reason, no is it a good 
idea.  Having 2 buttons that perform the same, but look different just confuses 
the user and makes an already complex application even more difficult to use.

That's great guys, but it would be better if you could keep your comments in 
the OFBIZ-4092
Really easier later when looking back to have things centralized somewhere (I 
saw Adrian tried to create a new thread...)

Thanks

Bruno,

I'll see your 2 cents, and raise you a dollar.  I agree, the naming of an 
element should never dictate how it looks or behaves;
that is what properties are for.  You are opening up a can of worms with me 
when you start down that path, so careful what you
wish for.  Buttons aren't the only offenders when it comes to that, the problem 
starts with the main decorator.  The layout of
the backend and the front end center around the fact that we have column 
layouts with classNames of .left, .right, and .center.
What if I don't want .left on the left anymore?...

Ryan,

A few more suggestions:

1. app-navigation h1-h3 class, try color: #959595;
2. h1 and page-title classes, try color: #557996;

I like how your initial version toned down the contrasting colors, and these 
suggestions follow that concept.

Ryan Foster commented on OFBIZ-4092:


I'm not sure that hard-coding the column count to 7 is that big of a deal.  
That 7 is actually a max of 7, not a hard seven.  The script loops through the 
list items and fills the columns from top to bottom, left to right until it 
reaches the end of the list.  So, if there are only 8 applications in the list, 
you will only have 2 columns, 12 apps means 3 columns, etc.  7 was chosen 
because that is the break point of the horizontal fold.  Anymore that 7 columns 
and a horizontal scrollbar is created on an 800px width browser viewport.

Ryan,

No worries. I also worked on making the masthead and main-navigation resizable 
- so they grow and shrink with font size changes.

I would prefer to defer to you - you're the master, I'm the grasshopper. I will 
wait for your update before proceeding further.

The main thing is to use Firefox, turn off JavaScript, change the default font 
to 24 or higher, resize the screen and see what happens. The layout in the 
patch you provided breaks badly under those conditions.

I also noticed you changed the design objectives to include a statement that 
javascript should not be required.  If that is the case, then I will really 
have to step back and think about my approach for graceful degradation on the 
main navigation since the key design principle for this section is based on the 
fact that the list falls into columns.

I am curious as to why you feel this should be a key objective.  Since the 
framework web apps themselves are heavily dependent on javascript in certain 
areas, shouldn't it be assumed that the user will always have javascript 
available?  If they don't, they are going have a lot more issues with 
functionality than just having a visual display that is a little off.

I forgot to include it when I created this issue.

As far as I know, the screen widget renderers check to see if JavaScript is 
enabled and output the appropriate markup.

 Update the Flat Grey visual theme. Design objectives:
 1. Floating, flexible layout - screen can be resized.
 2. Sight impaired accessible - users can change font size in their browser.
 3. Supports RTL layout.
 4. Does not require JavaScript. JavaScript can be used to add embellishments, 
 but the theme can't depend on it.

Ryan Foster commented on OFBIZ-4092:


hmm...  Is there a way we can do something similar using FreeMarker in 
appbar.ftl instead of using Javascript?  Could we create a macro that reads the 
numbers of apps then outputs a series of lists in the appropriate amount of 
columns.  If that is possible that would actually be a better solution since 
then we wouldn't have to wait until the page fully loads and the DOM is ready 
before applying the column styling.

Ryan Foster commented on OFBIZ-4092:


duh, I guess I should have actually read your patch first before I started 
thinking out loud.  Your solution looks great.  I made couple of small tweaks 
to it to remove some markup that I thought wasn't really necessary.  For 
instance, we don't really need to enclose each app title in in a p tag since 
the a is already set to display block.  I also put a set height to the li 
tag and removed the empty p tags with spaces from the last li.  Please 
don't take this personally, but one of my biggest pet peeves is using spaces 
and breaks in markup to control layout.  Let's try to avoid that as much as 
possible.

I have incorporated the changes from your last patch and made a few more design 
changes as well in my latest patch.  

1.  added additional styling to the main navigation to highlight the select app 
a bit more.  
2.  expanded on your change to the selected app navigation link to give it even 
more distinction
3.  enhanced the styling of the tab-bar area.
4.  added some misc. CSS3 styling enhancements to main nav and app nav areas 
for browsers that support text-shadow.

Also note that I changed the bevels in the main-navigation so their shadow

Bruno Busco commented on OFBIZ-4092:


I have an idea for the tab bar.
We all agree that it does not show well when it comes to two or three rows.
Well, we could only show the tabs that fit in one row and add a  tab as 
last tab.
When hovering on the  tab the remaining tabs appear like a pull down menu 
allowing the user to select one of them.
The actually selected tab should always be showed as the fist element on the 
left.

What do you think? Could it be done with some jquery script?

I suggest making a few small markup changes in order to bring this theme up to 
date.  For instance, the secondary app bar in the footer uses the deprecated 
center/center tag.  Things like this should be cleaned up.

I have attached screen grabs of my WIP.  Here is a quick breakdown of changes:

1.  Remove top tab navigation and replace with a column list navigation.
2.  Move user preferences to footer.
3.  Move secondary apps to top nav and integrate with main apps in column list 
navigation
4.  Remove unnecessary CSS and XHTML validation icons from footer (I don't 
think that the markup has validated 100% for a while.  C'est la vie, but let's 
no draw attention to it)
5.  Removed collapsed header preference and instead keep header collapsed 
permanently to save space.
6.  Update general look and feel.
7.  Update form and buttons styles

Ryan - this looks great!

I would like to test it on my local copy tonight. I'm mostly concerned with how 
it will behave in a framework-only installation (that's what got me started on 
this subject).

Thanks.  Good luck.  Let me know if you run into any problems.  I sure there 
will be a bug or two, as I have to admit that I just got a spark of an idea and 
just banged this all out last night.  I haven't done thorough browser tested 
yet, but it looks good so far on FF, Safari, and Chrome.

Some suggestions from the dev mailing list (one of these was made a while back):

1. Title bars less dark - so you don't have the dark horizontal bands in 
screens with screenlets.
2. Keep the main navigation tab bar on top.
3. Make the main navigation a collapsible column.
4. Keep the markup the same so Selenium tests will still pass.

The community is welcome to comment and offer more suggestions.
