[jira] Closed: (OFBIZ-2118) Drop-down Applications Bar

["Jacques Le Roux (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2118?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jacques Le Roux closed OFBIZ-2118.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Finally I close this issue because I think that if we add more and more top level applications it will not make sense to have an horizontal menu which will have to be line wrapped .

Currently we have a Windows Start model UI, or rather a Gnome desktop model but with a sole entry point (Home). 

We could, like IMO it's done elegantly  in Ubunut/Gnome, have more entries point namely:
* Top Level Applications
* Addon Applications (better name ?)
* System Applications
* etc.

I put this in proposition  [New Features Roadmap Living Document|http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/New+Features+Roadmap+-+Living+Document]

> Hi all,
> we have discussed several times about a new backoffice layout with drop-down menus to have less crowded screens.
> I am experimenting some solutions and I would like to show you what I came to in order to discuss about it.
> What you can see in the screenshots attached is based on an new visual-theme but also on several changes in the decorators.
> The idea is to have a breadcrumbs that is a drop-down menu also.
> The leftmost Item is always "Home" and when the user hover on it the applications menu is shown up.
> Then the user can select an application and the application name is shown in the second position of the breadcrumbs.
> If the user hovers on it the selected application menu is shown and the user can select an option that is shown in third position on breadcrumbs.
> The idea is to have the breadcrumbs to incorporate both the applications menu, the single application menu and the tab bars.
> At the right ent of the same line of the breadcrumbs (in the white background region) the actual screen name should be visible.
> I think that this way of navigating offers to the user a complete view of all applications as a whole.
> For the moment I only attach screenshots to this jira because I need to clean my code to make a presentable patch. I just want to hear if you think this is a model that we can go through. If the community agrres on this that I will spend more time to clean the code and submit a patch.
