Thoughts and ideas

I find the exaggerated shadows to slow down visual interpretation of the page.

@sudburr I got the same thing today. I updated to the working branch and ran into several problems trying to tell the difference between a text field and a button to click on (like when scheduling tasks). Some of the panels are sharp and look really good, others took me a minute to understand what I was doing.

Its getting there, we just need to continue providing usage feedback for Tom.

LOAD AVERAGE

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman ??? I don’t understand what you mean.

@Tom-Elliott I will try to load it next week.

One thing that I think would help it look better would be to make it where HTML elements don’t resize as they load. I suspect this is happening because images sizes are not set before they load, but I haven’t really dug into it.

[Tom Elliott]

@loosus456 The whole idea of the “resize” stuff is because i want to get a system somewhat “responsive” feel.

The whole idea behind it is to be resizable so that you can use a single point on computer or mobile. I’m just not that smart

@Tom-Elliott I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing. What I’m talking about looks unintentional.

If you have an IMG element whose source image is, for example, 200x200 but its size is not set via the STYLE attribute, then the size of the IMG is essentially zero until the image loads. Then, it expands to 200x200 when the image loads. This gives the entire page a “shaky,” unstable look.

What do you mean by “use a single point on computer or mobile?” Do you mean that you want the same page on desktop and mobile and to dynamically adjust depending on the device used?

How about this for a login page:

And this for dashboard:

I’ve been working to move this into a “bootstrap” type system.

My basic works are right now off:

As I work, I’ll end up making the code more my own, just this is how I’m basing the work currently.

[sudburr]

Hmmm … In the left column; lose the word management. It’s kinda, redundant. If home is the dashboard, call it dashboard or vice versa.

@Tom-Elliott Are you using media queries?

[Tom Elliott]

No, I’m working, slowly, in building in bootstrap.

[Wayne Workman]

@sudburr Agree.

[davidedpg10]

@sudburr I agree. The proposed interface with navigation on the side is pretty sleek. But the word management is just a tad overused. It looks good though

[falko]

I also like the navigation on the side. Looks great and works well

[x23piracy]

@Tom-Elliott is it html5?

[falko]

Just going to throw this out there, (I may be alone on this one, If so I’ll keep quite) But having the search bar on the far right means to search I have to move the mouse quite a bit as the navigation and main menu for the pages is on the left.

Also when trying to save the configuration, it does not ask for credentials like it does for exporting the reports.

[x23piracy]

@falko with the search thing i am on your side, everything usefull should be concentrated on one side.

[Tom Elliott]

@x23piracy How are you guys installing this to view it?

I moved the search to the “right side” simply because it was easiest applying it to the right side so it appears in the collapsed menu a bit nicer. I can move it where ever needed though, and if I do it right it would appear at the top of the side menu items.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Topbar:

Collapsed Nav bar.
