Yes, I agree to this as well (despite the fact that I proposed it myself). I'll keep working on this, so I'm sure we'll reach a solution that most of you feel happy about. I have some questions first (for now regarding only the site and design views). 1. How often do you use the "exposes" functionality (the links that is)? 2. How often do you click on web2py logo in the upper left corner to visit the web2py homepage? 3. How often do you use the jump-to links in the design page (the ones that list the section names in upper right corner)? 4. Would you have anything hidden by default? Please answer the above questions before reading on. My ideas are these: * Loose the header altogether and keep the tabs only. The tabs would be simple buttons that highlight when you visit an appropriate section. * Add a large button in upper left corner that does different things depending on context. For example, in design view, it goes to the site view, in site view, it does nothing, in edit view, it goes to design view... etc (in any case we can discuss what this button will do) * Hide 'exposes' (slide it up or somehow tuck it in) * Reorganize the file list so it's easier to navigate * Add searching functionality to the file lists (I actually have a very cool solution that won't require any hacking of the template except adding a text input box. * Collapse app sections by default. * And yeah, maybe keep the main area white. I'll also work on an alternative color scheme. I thought black-orange was a done deal, so I stuck to it, but if I can change it, it'd be great. -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group
