Thanks Raluca. Yes, a better solution is be to increase the padding and also
use $theme.backgroundSecondaryColor (or a darker tone).
The problem is that on default theme, backgroundSecondaryColor is a gray
color and the contrast with the gray icon is not that good.
In terms of interaction I think "hover on tooltip" and "click on
arrow" for
changing the rights is better. The user browse the rights to see the
inheritance and see what those rights means, and when he made up his mind he
clicks and change the right.
There are more cases when the users is just browsing the rights, inspecting
or see rights meaning, than actually change them; so the harder activity
(clicking) should be put on changing the right.
The small arrow is a sign that there is a menu. If the menu will appear on
click, the arrow is necessary to work as an invitation and also to keep the
consistency with actionMenus.
Raluca, do you think we should use bigger icons, like Alex suggested? Maybe
if we put enough padding and we work a bit on the contrast
(backgroundSecondaryColor, highlightColor) this won't be necessary.
The only advantage of another color set would be a greater space for user to
click/hover (we can fix that with padding). The disadvantage is that the
look&feel will be broken and also other icons will not correlate actions
done in XWiki (edit, delete, comment, etc) with the corresponding rights.
If the hover/click and the size of the icons are the only problem :) then is
ok
Thanks,
Caty
Hi Caty,
This version is really cool, just some minor comments:
When I mouse over some right icon (FF 3.6), the dropdown menu with
allow/deny/etc. is shown, but this menu is very hard to see, because it
has almost the same color as the background and the icons are right
above the right icons from the line below.
The popup with the hint what right it is and why it is inherited is
really helpful, but to open it I need to hit the small triangle near to
the icon, otherwise only the dropdown menu is shown (but maybe its just
because it is not the final version). This might be quite hard for some
people.
I'd made the icons larger (at least 24x24) and add more contrast (right
now inherited rights look like disabled GUI controls to me), especially
to the dropdown menu, view right icon and inherited right arrow from the
menu.
I think that the tooltip can be added on mouse click. This would imply
adding a nice question mark instead of that small arrow, and the user
would click anywhere on the span with the class name "summary". And
another improvement would be to add more padding to the drop down
menus. Caty is currently using the secondary background color, right?
Maybe we should use the highlight color, but I'm not sure of that.
Raluca.

Clicking
any where on the +/- icon or v would then open the
menu.
Is it what you try ?
yes, on hover show the tooltip, on click show the menu.
