Re: New Default Theme? not yet
Hi David,
from a marketing point of view I agree but there are a lot of errors in
this schema to correct and that before tuesday? Not very realistic.
after 5 minutes of testing:
1. search results in party: partyId not clickable
(error: HOTWAX.buildSearch is not a function)
2. Although the sponsoring from hotwax is very much appreciated, wasn't
there an agreement not to use the name in the code but only in other
areas as svn log and ?
3. In general the screens are now formatted much to wide because of
spaces and character sizes and other reasons, have a look at :
https://localhost3:8443/projectmgr/control/MyTimesheet
Let me emphasize that Hotwax and Brainfood brought OFBiz to the next
level especially in the framework and graphical design areas. Thank you!
Regards,
Hans

I was thinking about that the other day. I'd like to see the current
default theme moved to the themes folder.

Hi Tim,
I fixed this at r765721 but for FF3. Please see my comment in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2303
About smoothfeather as the default theme : if we want to do that correctly we need to treat each theme equally. For the moment the
std theme is considered as "superior" to the other themes. It's not exactly what it should be : a default changeable easily from
scratch by a parameter. So we need to extract the std theme and to make it a theme like the others, and the default OOTB (so far). I
don't give all details but this means to have a new "std layout" theme under the /themes directory

No, I don't hate footers ;).
The originally thinking was to give the backend look and feel a more "desktop" like feeling, where most of the information and
navigation is located in sidebars, file menus, tabs, etc. Following that line of thinking, maybe we put a "help" link in the header
right next to preferences that drops down in a similar fashion to show copyright, link to apache, etc. This would function exactly
the same way that the help link functions in apps like Firefox, Mac Mail, Outlook, Word, etc. We could even put a simple keyword
search field in this section that searches docs.ofbiz.org. See the screenshot below for an example:

Hi Ryan,
Yes great idea, I like it :o)
There are still issues related to font sizes, but clearly people not involved in previous UI developments (who have an exernal look)
prefer far more the new one (more easy to read they say). Even in the order view case which was a problem for me (is still but I
have to get used to I guess ;o).
BTW, I opened a Jira issue for the small issues I found in Confluence so far
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2298

My personal vote is to get a footer that has at least the bottom one because it's super important information and that's where people have become accustomed to looking for it. As for the ASF copyright and the OFBiz logo - those need to be there, but I'm not sure the footer is ever the best place for that.
Designers, what do you think on the placement now that you know that people would like to see it back?

Hmm - try loading it up locally with this as the default theme and see if it's the theme itself or just the JS and CSS getting confused when it switches.

Re: New Default Theme? not yet

Actually the things that IMO are missing are
* The ASF copyright and link to a apache.org site
* Powered by OFBiz and link to ofbiz.apache.org
* Release.revision informations
Only the last is mandatory IMO, but I'm not sure about ASF copyright and a link to OFBiz site would be cool
But maybe they are somewhere and I did not find them (do you hate footers ? ;o) ?
With the update today all issues below are still there
For favicon.png I think it should be favicon.ico by the way (did not look into detail but that how it works normally, this was
introduced by M$ if I recall well, hence the .ico)
Also sometimes on XP using FF3 (a pretty classic set I'd say) I get myself stuck, the UI is not responding anymore. I got this issue
at least after trying to change themes.

Awesome - thanks for the follow up. I think it got patched up earlier, so it's probably just waiting on the commit (if it's not in there already). Good stuff.

Fost, we do need to get all of those references to HOTWAX out of this theme - but that was an oversight not a marketing ploy :) Looking forward to getting this all resolved, but I don't think any of these things should stop us from using this one - only encourage everyone to make it better!

I'm not sure if I would say that not having a footer is an issue.
Most of what was in the footer has been moved and grouped more
logically in the header. For instance, the secondary apps have been
grouped with the main apps, and the time zone selection has been
grouped with the other user preferences such as theme selection and
language. The XHTML and CSS icons have been removed, but if you
clicked on the XHTML icon you see that the page does not validate,
having several errors.

So far, I found also that :
* there is no footer anymore
* an issue with favicon.png.
* when you choose a theme you have to use Cancel after to apply it. It's like if the last view feature was not working.
* the log in webtools is no longer colored
* it's not easy to select the PDF version of an order in order view

Yes, The default size is too large, you need to have a wide screen to see it correctly. Especially with IE with the most current
size screen used in the world (1024*768).
And even using FF3, Chrome Opera or Safari with a wide screen (1680*1050) you get an issue when looking, for instance, at the Store
(the store infos are wrapped). And I don't speak about having a panel open at left, etc.
Also the orderview in only one column is not easy to read.
Also maybe we could have a title for each column of Business Area (BTW this needs to be internationalized, maybe some others
also...). Something like "Main applications" "Secondary applications", maybe 2 colors also ?
This said, it's really a great effort and I think that there is not much to be done to be near perfection (at least nowadays ;o)
Yes thank you for that !
