Hi Devs,
Inspired by the newly launched W3C website, I'd like to introduce the
possibility to choose the display mode: desktop (the current UI),
print (the current print preview UI) and mobile (a 1-column,
margin-free layout). I'd like to group these options in a new action
menu entry, named DISPLAY (or VIEW) and placed between EDIT and EXPORT
(I can't find a good position, suggestions welcome). In the same menu
we can reintroduce the View Wiki Source feature (
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XSCOLIBRI-122 ).
So basically, the menu changes are:
- new DISPLAY menu, with the options: Desktop, Mobile, Print, Wiki Source
- the chosen display mode (except wiki source) is sticky, meaning that
it will continue to be used for the following page views
- Print Preview disappears from ACTIONS
To me, view code is not a display action: "view code" should look different
in desktop, mobile and print view. I'd rather have "view code" in the
"Actions" menu.
About the Display option, I think that would be great. Do you also plan on
adding an autodetect based on the user agent?
Another question: should it be called "Display" or "View" ?
"View" sounds
maybe a bit more intuitive than "Display" but I don't have a strong pow on
this.
I'm +1 about a "Display" or "View" menu entry with Desktop, Mobile
and
Print.
Only potential issue is that it might make the top menu look a bit crowded.
Any objections/comments?
See my remarks above. Great idea overall.
Guillaume
