Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] App Within Minutes - Improvements

Hi Gabriela, Thanks for this proposal. As a general remark, it's not easy to see the differences between your proposal and the current state. A side-by-side comparison would have helped. = Wizard Header = I like how the step number is displayed before the step title. I don't see be benefit of not showing the numbers for the steps on the right. Also, I'm not sure blue is the best color to mark the current step. = Icons = Are all those icons available in the Icon Theme? Some of the icons are not well chosen. For instance we are already using the "bricks" icon for XWiki Objects (in the document tree and the search UI). I don't think it's suited for "Steps". I wouldn't put icons everywhere just for the sake of having an icon, unless that icon is really useful. I don't think we need icons everywhere. = Home Page = I'm not convinced by the position of the new buttons. They don't look right for me because there is also Edit & More Action above. I feel there are too many buttons spread over the page. Some options (no necessarily better): * display the buttons on the left, above the live table (we plan to add batch operations to the live table and we'll add some buttons there anyway) * merge the buttons with the Edit / More Actions. Display Add Entry before Edit and put app actions inside More Actions * move Add Entry to the top menu (as an option under the Add button) and the app actions inside other menus or inside More Actions Hope this helps, Marius On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 5:08 PM, Gabriela Smeria <gabriela.smeria(a)xwiki.com> wrote:
