Re: [Web-erp-developers] design idea

Rom,

Sorry its taken me a few days to comment on your design work.

This design looks great!

What is the intention with the GO TO selection box?

One point - design seems to have adopted the old horizontal format.
Steve's new design that I recently committed to the CVS is more verti=
cal
than the old horizontal way - you may want to have a look at this - I
like the fact that we can get more links visible on the page with his
way. It makes good use of the whole screen - even works at 600x800.

I have had lectures from Steve about how the visual appeal is importa=
nt
for marketing purposes and getting initial buy in from potential user=
s
=2E... and since everyone will have different view on what looks good=
 I
really like the themes idea. This involves a new directory under the =
css
directory all you need to do is tell config.php the name of the new
directory (theme) under the css directory and the whole system change=
s
its look! We could even make this different for different users quite
easily.

This may sound like me pouring cold water over your idea and I
desperately don't want to put you off contributing. Its not that your
design is not great... it is. However, I must say that I not keen to
re-invent the core GUI every couple of months. Re-working old scripts
always gives me the nasty negative feeling of "if only I'd done it th=
is
way in the first place I wouldn't be wasting time doing it again" - G=
UI
re-invention seems like a never ending circle and I prefer to focus o=
n
pushing out the accounting functionality.

Thats not to say that if we can extend the themes concept to allow a =
few
more bells and whistles ... then lets do it!

Perhaps we should get stuck into the multi-language stuff first then
revisit the GUI after that.
