UI

redtoad created Redmine issue ID 7685

have been ordered to list suggestions for the Revo manager UI

honestly, I just want to give a manager theme to the community. but I don't have time yet.

biggest issues: there is no right click prompt on the site menu tree, there are mystery buttons with no labels everywhere the dropdowns are humungous, the huge settings lists are scary (can I have my tabs back please?) and I personally ....this is a personal thing... hate the boxiness.

too many boxes. I think it is the thin outline around the tabs, it just bugs me. I am not one who likes to complain unless I can help fix so with this I do promise to mock up some ideas to help and I will work on a theme.

peace

No right click on the tree? There definitely is one Anne, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're referring too.

This seems to be a chance to delete my modx UI improvements list =)...so I have some little fixes only, but I don't want to bother you with a single ticket for each one, or should I?

Here they are:

• Main Navigation, if no submenu is available, there's a black element appearing on hover with nothing in it > For example the Dashboard Item shows some strange black, empty submenu when hovering and the user hasn't permission to edit dashboards. I think when there's no submenu, nothing should happen when the mainnav-item is hovered.

• Update Button on the error protocol page is missing, it was always present until 2.2, is this intentional or a bug? I hate to refresh the whole manager (takes a bit too long) just to see if something new logged in the error log...

• When displaying TVs below the content (via system setting), the surrounding box looks broken, there's no title bar saying "Template Variables" and also no border on top.

• This may be a single ticket, but I also think it's a UI thing... When quick Edit is opened, I think also the TVs should be loaded (maybe a cut down version of them, only text and image ones for example) and be accessible through a tab. Also there's a small inconsistency with the line where the tabs sit on..it just ends in the open space instead of going down to the footer of the overlay.

@Anne: I also thought about making a custom manager theme, but it looks quite scary to me (the whole ext.js thing does =D)
