Susan L. Cline commented on QUARKS-20:
--------------------------------------

Julia, thanks for your input on the console. I have some questions about the pdf you attached.

1. For the pause and play graph button, I don't have any graphics help.  If someone would like to contribute original images for these, that would be great and I can add those images as buttons, otherwise it will just be text on the button.

2. I like the ability to close either the topology graph or metrics section.  

3. Is the little green 'i' icon next to the job serve the same purpose as the 'state' hover now?  I think changing it to i is good, but also possibly changing the color of it if according to the state.

4. What do the question marks next to the titles of the panes topology graph  and Metrics display?  Are they necessary?

5. I like some of the suggestions for the charts - adding some text at the top about what the metric is.

6. For the 1.5 panes suggestion, I'm a little confused about the green text that says 'Using part of the pane would allow us to expand larger directed flow graphs if necessary'.  How would that work if the topology graph is above?

If there is another else that I'm not commenting on that you think we should discuss more, please let me know.
