UI/UX Improvements - Homepage #187

Closed pverscha closed 2 years ago

pverscha commented 2 years ago

This issue contains a list of improvements that resulted from valuable feedback from by @bmesuere. All of the things mentioned below are applicable to the homepage of the application:

[x] also add "create new project" button to placeholder on the project (to the placeholder that's shown when no projects have been created before).
[x] It's unclear that an empty (or new) directory needs to be selected for a new project.

The "Create project" button has been added to the left panel of the homepage. If at least one previously opened project exists, the buttons are no longer shown on the left, but only in the right side of the application. See aa1f43577bf0aa69c61f9a.

The tooltips for the actions on the homepage have also been updated. They now more clearly indicate to the user that a new, empty directory should be selected to create a new project.

Eventhough this issue was already closed, I have made some more changes to the homepage in order to improve this page for new users of the application. It should be clearer how a new project can be made or what the function of all the other buttons is.
