New UI - Githubissues

hql287 commented 6 years ago

Motivation

There are a number of inconsistencies in the app UI when it runs in different OSs. This change attempts to fix that and to establish some conventions which would make future improvement easier.

The window titleBar will always appear at the top.
The current sideBar in the mainWindow will be moved to the top and will act as the mainNavigation.
The second row would be the current page's "contextualMenu" which shows different actions in different pages.
The main area is now wider (as the sideBar would be moved to the top)
The new bottomBar is where main actions will be placed. It can also be used to show the status of a time-consuming action, such as downloading updates or shortcuts to different actions, depends on the context.

Here are some screenshots of the changes that I'm working on. Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Hi, it will be implemented soon. I just relocated to another city and will get back to Manta soon after settling down.
