And this for dashboard:

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

My basic works are right now off:
https://github.com/creativetimofficial/light-bootstrap-dashboard

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

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.

@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

@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.

@x23piracy No. It’s based on “bootstrap”.

The Main page, layout wise, has been designed around html5 layout, but it is not using html5 “coding” if you will.

No lie, but being the cli-focused guy I am, I’d absolutely love keyboard shortcuts…

Me too, but to keep Tom’s workload low for this rather large undertaking, this could be put-off.

Can you put the page on a public site so it’s easy to see?

[Tom Elliott]

@loosus456 it’s on my dev box as my systems are real servers. I can give some access but if you want to test and play with it yourself I’d recommend installing the bootstrap branch

[Bob Henderson]

@Wayne-Workman Oh, definately. And lets face it, a majority of users are clickers anyways, so that’s what should be developed first.

This will only be available for a few days, it’s on one of my test VMs:

I would personally go with something like this:

I would also put greater spacing between the words at the bottom, although I didn’t take the time to do that since they’re currently just text and would require a slight rework.
