  Dear Steve and All,

  =20

  Humm, you are right, I read some of this in the goals of the projects =
and definitely pull downs would require some JavaScript. Well, back to =
the design table :D

  =20

  =D8       That's good about the icons being able to be different =
colors.

  =20

  Thank you J

  =20

  Could you please send to me a snapshot of the CVS version?

  =20

  With Best Regards,

    Hello Steve and All,

    =20

    =D8 I'm thinking that possibly you're working from the old =
interface.  Have you downloaded the most recent cvs?  By the way, if you =
haven't, they seem to be having trouble with it for the last week.  =
You'll either have to wait or=20

    =D8 maybe Phil has a copy that he could send.

    =20

    Yes, I did this based on the download version of webERP. I did not =
join the CVS efforts yet. Where should I start?

    =20

    =D8 The graphics are very good.  The font on the menu is too small =
as it displays on mine.  Do you mean to have the Selects in that Go To =
drop-down?=20

    =20

    Yes, it is quite small. I am still doing some work on it since there =
are 2 concerns in that part: 1) the description of the icons and 2) the =
translation of it. I was thinking in maybe making the Modules Navigation =
a pull down menu. I don't know. All inputs are welcome :D.

    =20

    > Personally I'd like to drop the plus sign at the end of webERP as =
I think any punctuation makes it difficult for people to catch onto and =
readily communicate.  I believe a name that is represented the same =
everywhere and without > anything that hinders remembering it quickly =
and long term means it spreads quicker.  Especially in web searches, =
etc.  However, that's Phil's call. =20

    =20

    I just copy the actual way you write down the logo. As you said it =
is Phil's call. I just did a little redesign since "web" and "erp" are =
two different word and in languages like mine (Brazilian Portuguese) it =
sounds like one word. So it would be important, in my point of view (I =
can be wrong), to show that it is 2 words. I agree about the identity =
thing. One cannot change its name otherwise it looses it identity.

    =20

    > I find these days that several of the erp vendors have gone with =
pastel (calmer) shades as a color scheme.  In fact earth tones seem to =
be the "norm".  Accpac has varying shades of soft browns, blues (some =
harder)and greys > including their icons.  Great Plains uses soft to =
medium blues, greys, browns and soft, sort of grey/green.  Navision is =
soft blues and browns.  Possibly others may disagree.  Is it possible to =
reshade the graphics into a pastel > color scheme?

    =20

    I just copy and paste the icons in the interface. The green and =
orange makes it more commercial now-a-days, but I do agree with you that =
the pastels are more neutral and it is hard that people hates it. Who =
does not like pastels can easily ignore it. But my idea is the =
following: with CSS it is easy to change the main interface colors and =
we can do (as soon as we decide to use the Everaldo icons and the he =
sends to me the vector version of his icons so we can change the =
coloring on them) different versions of the icons for the different =
themes. So we can have 10 different versions of the coloring of the =
icons and much more combinations of the CSS schemes.

      Dear All,

      =20

      I am designing a new look for the interface (I am doing the design =
job, so please don't mind the graphics) and would like to know your =
opinion about it:

      =20

      http://www.primor.ind.br/i/weberp_01_18.08.2004.jpg

      =20

      I kept all 3 navigations on it:

      =20

      - The icons are the navigation between modules;

      =20

      - The pull down menu is the navigation inside the modules (main =
menu and so on)

      =20

      - The items below are the same.

      =20

      The interface is good for 800x600, but it is possible to do a =
"slim" version that will fit in smaller screen widths.

      =20

      Please let me know your input,

      =20

      Best Regards,

      =20
