I made the sticky demo mostly as an experiment. I even don't know if I like
it. It's problematic for the current skin, since the logo disappears on
scrolling.
I made the demo since we discussed once on the IRC about independent
containers and wanted to see how it looks like. From an implementation POV
it's a single "position: sticky" in CSS, but it's not supported in
IE11. So
this could be an option just for a newer skin or have JS to have the
behavior.
Hi Caty,

Hi devs,
Some ideas that could be applied to left panels area:
* Mark "More applications" as expandable
Seems good
* Provide a "Customize" panel button on
hover
I agree with the general idea.
Some details:
* For admins only right?
* What does it do? We don’t have the concept of Panel administration ATM.
What would work is edit the panel page but then we may want to go further
than that. Editing needs to be an option but some panel may provide an
admin UI too such as the Navigation Panel or the Applications Panel. it’s time to update the Panel XClass and add an
xproperty for the
administration of panels, which would be used if not empty.
In theory only for Admins, since they have access to Administration.
Currently we have dedicated customizations for AppBar and Navigation, so
having that button would help the discoverability. Being able to have it at
the Panel class, could be nice, but I think it's interesting to have it at
least as individual customizations for these 2 panels that are on the Left.
* Some
styling changes
Sounds good
* Demo: show sticky left panels would behave
I’m also not yet 100% sure about the sticky panels but why not, we should
discuss the details. What I don’t like are for cases when you have panels
that span more than a screenful vertically.
It’s possible there’s not a single valid choice depending how you want to
implement your website and thus maybe the only option is to have this
configurable in the general Panel Admin UI (fixed panels or sticky
panels).
That’s what would make the most sense to me. Once
we have this, the
default
should be what looks best with the default
content we provide for XS.
Yeap, for KB having a sticky TOC or Navigation panel
would look great
Only if the panel content fits the window height. Both the ToC and the
Navigation Panel can take a lot of vertical space (e.g. if you have a large
wiki and you expand the navigation tree). What will be the behavior if the
panels content is larger than the window height?
, but
it's not the case for all the Flavors. So having it customizable would be
preferred.
Thanks,
Caty
I like those ideas! :)
Thanks
