Help Popup #58

Closed jack-ullery closed 1 year ago

jack-ullery commented 1 year ago

Previously, when users pressed the "Help" button (labeled with a question mark), a page appeared to describe a set of topics related to AppArmor.

In my opinion, that page was hard to read and not very helpful. In particular, we should limit the amount of information that is thrust onto the user at one time.

I made some changes so that the "Help" button now opens a small popup box, instead of an entire page. The contents of this popup box change depending on what tab AppAnvil is displaying. Currently, the box explains AppArmor terminology that may be unknown or confusing to a novice user.

Eventually, I would like to tailor help information for other pages, like the "Profile Modify" page. I am also considering adding a section to explain the types of actions a user can perform using AppAnvil.
