I don't think it's good to add heavy > files to the svn. I'll probably upload it to the wiki. I think it's fine if you add it to the svn. Under a different name than the current, like ProposalA.svg, as probably when we come to the UI we will be copying and pasting between them & make new versions, etc... The size is not really an issue I think as most of us are on broadband anyway, aren't we ? About your proposal: First of all, I don't think we will be able to overhaul the UI just before the conferences anymore, as there still enough to fix... Secondly, I really do like some aspects of the proposal you made, but also dislike some parts of it. Also I have some questions. The questions: On what kind of monitor are you and Miguel (& others) ? I am using a dual-monitor setup of 2 cheap-ass TFT's @ 1280x1024, with irremovable color-differences even between them... While the colors look faded on one, there is surely enough space to see the Logi & panels on both of them (On my EEE-pc with 1024x600 on the other hand all one sees are the top-bars & the title) Good in the proposal are, I tink: - the rounded look of the requested/received bars - the help-icons - the user-picture in my_logilogi Bad/problematic are, I think: - the search & requested/received bars are too short, should at least span till my_logilogi - the overall crammed look of it, too little space between (@ my size monitor) - the panels are too close together & I think better when panels - the little calendar and the by - author name look good, and are missing here... (author name is there, but in a panel) Ambiguous are: - the toolbar is missing ? - where are the tabs and network-bar ? Maybe more later, but this is it for now, as I got to get back to the presentations-preparations... Also I will try to fix your account now...
