------------------------------------------------------------------
I like very much this new theme. But I have the feeling that it could be even
better. We should try to create an "hybrid" theme between "Chrome" and
"Light-Blue".
Actually it would keep most of "Light-Blue", only one point would be mixed : we
would keep tabs for main applications. This would create a new theme looking
like look desktop UIs (on any platforms) : a main horizontal top menu (here
tabs) from where you can open dropdown menus. This is only an idea, I did not
consider the difficulties but I guess as tabs are also menus, it should be
doable. We could put another main color in place of light blue (re-using the
theme in OFBIZ-2106) and call it "Desktop"
My early 2 cts :)
Bruno, your patch is in trunk at revision: 737309 . I did not close yet, only
for my "Desktop" hybrid theme idea

> 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.
