+1 for Vincent's point. * The Login/avatar transition from Guest to logged in user makes perfect sense, even if it looks a bit awkward for guests. ** This also goes in line with a previous discussion we had on Notifications which concluded that Search should be the left-most icon, due to its expansion when clicked and the fact that it would shift anything to its left and we don't want users to be chasing our buttons. * The textual "Log-in" is justified, as Caty proposes, to remove any ambiguity caused by an icon and is a very used practice on the web I find more points in favor of this than against it and tend to believe that it will behave well in practice. Here's a screenshot of how it would look like now (made by Caty): https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/attachment/34756/Proposition5.1.png Side Note: Thinking ahead, this might also be extended at some point to have a drop-down login form when clicking the Log-In button from the top menu, instead of redirecting to the login action, making the process much smoother than it is right now.

I’d also prefer an icon and not text if we can find an icon that’s clear enough. The other icons don’t have text so it would be nicer to continue with this for consistency. Thanks -Vincent

That depends. Only if you plan to contribute something. Remember that the vast majority of users don’t contribute anything and are just readers. So for most of users it’s not the most important icon. And if the wiki is closed you will get a log-in screen anyway. Thanks -Vincent

Another point to be checked: if users install extensions that add UIX in the top menu then the location of the Log in icon/text may move and users may be disturbed to not find it in the same location as before (this is why I liked the rightmost location next to the drawer). FTR Log in icons: http://bit.ly/2AOgCmz BTW what about log out? Thanks -Vincent

I think the problem with this image is the icon. https://material.io/icons/#ic_power_settings_new or any other power button would be cool. paul On 12 Dec 2017, at 16:58, Guillaume Delhumeau wrote:
