Hi,
From the list of alternatives
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/AppBar#HImplementationConsi…
Var 2 and Var 4 have the greatest potential.
Var 1: The only interesting aspect is the ability to reuse the Panel
Wizard's Drag&Drop ability in order to customize your AppBar. But if we
would go with Var 2 we could create a dedicated UI to customize the AppBar.
Var 2: This means a new class used only by the Flamingo skin. Application
Developer should offer a page containing an object of this type with their
wanted look for the AppBar. Being a new class we could decide what
properties we add (taking into consideration maybe rights, favorite
aspects, etc.)
Var 3: Considering UIX discussions, an UIXP is not the best decision IMO
for this problem, a class is better suited.
Var 4: seems interesting from a reusability point of view. The thing is
that there are not that many instances of AddApplicationUIX extensions and
also in the mail about UIXP the conclusion was that it was better to use
classes.
Reusing this extension is complicated also because it doesn't provide all
the information needed by the AppBar (32px icon, etc.)
-----
I prefer Var 4.
It would be nice to hear also other opinions. Guillaume maybe you could
make a proposal for the ApplicationBarEntryClass properties and types.
Thanks,
Caty

Actually, we also need to find a way to determine
which is the "active"
application, in order to display it differently.
For this problem IMO the best solution would be use the space name.
For every space, we add in the body element a space class, like '
space-Main', etc.
We could have something like 'space-{$appSpaces}', example:
.space-MoccaCalendar .appBar .calendarIcon {
// extend active styling
}

Hi guys,
I have pushed a first version of flamingo in platform/XE, but it is
only a
prototype that need a LOT more do be ready for
production.
One of the new things brought by flamingo is the "Applications" left
bar,
which is not exactly the same thing as the
Applications Panel we already
have.
We can see it more as a "dock" with a list of applications, and in the
future, we could make it customizable by the user. Caty has written a
proposal for this [1].
Right now, for the first implementation, I need to make some choices
about
the way we "populate" this bar. We can
create new classes to describe
the
bar entries, or new UI Extensions (maybe not the
good choice regarding
the
recent e-mails...), or by re-using the existing
AddApplicationUIX... It
is
described on
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/AppBar#HImplementationConsi…
.
Other thing: In my draft, I have created a new VM file on the filesystem
for this concept. Maybe I should create it as an extension point stored
in
the database, but it means it won't appear on
an empty wiki. WDYT?
I let you make some comments about this.
Thanks,
Caty & Louis-Marie
