[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Hightlight applied filters in livetable

[Denis Gervalle]

Hi devs,

We have a customer request for highlighting the filters that are currently
applied on a livetable. The rationale of this, is that sometimes the
filtered table is empty or unexpected by the user, but he does not notice
that a filter is currently applied. We have written a proposed
implementation as well and you may also see what it looks like in the
attached screenshot, for both text field and select box (for webkit).

Currently, I choose yto use the "background highlight color" of the active
color theme, but my feeling is that adding another highlight color would be
better.

I have also hook to events separately from the "main" refresh handler,
because I do not understand the implementation of this handler. Why using an
intermediate makeRefreshHandler, and why it does not properly provide the
currently changed filter to the handler ? Could or should I change that ?

WDYT ?

Denis
