Hi Jan,<br>
<br>
What is the proposal of that?<br>
<br>
We've already had a new UI design documentation to cover all the
new UI elements and what you are proposing here is very different
from what we are doing on new UI.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
The new UI design documentation contains some great usability
improvements but they are based on the current "master-branch"
Kimchi/Ginger design where Kimchi and the framework are tightly
interconnected.<br>
The existing design document is proposing the following base
navigation:<br>
<img src="cid:part1.03000503.03070209@linux.vnet.ibm.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
What's getting confusing from a usabiltiy point of view are
especially the main menue points Storage and Networks because they
are refferring to Virtual-Networks and libvirt-Storage-Pools and in
the section of Host-Management there are similar menues for
Host-Network and Host-Storage management. The menue points of Kimchi
are expanding into the top horizontal section whereas the menue
points of the Host-Management and Admin area are expanding into a
vertical selection position.<br>
The horizontal section is limited in how much content it can
display.<br>
We should also think about additional plugins like Containers and
how we would have them show up in the UI.<br>
I guess what I'm pleading here is to take the chance and look at the
UI-design again considering the changed circumstances and benefit
from the skill some new community members like Samuel, Jan and
others are bringing in here.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Walter.<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I started a Kimchi GUI Prototype with the Pencil tool. <br>
<br>
First topic I would like to discuss is the base navigation
proposal shown below<br>
1) There is a horizontal main navigation area which contains
'Host' and 'Virtualization'. 'Containers' is an example for a
future plugin.<br>
2) There is a vertical sub navigation area. Each item in the sub
navigation has an icon and a label (1 or 2 lines). <br>
<br>
I am very interested in your feedback and would like to come to
an agreement on this.<br>
<br>
I will discuss with Aline if we can store the Kimchi GUI
Prototype at a central place. It is packed in a single file
PencilGuiPrototype.zip<br>
Please extract this file and read ./readme.txt<br>
To view the Kimchi GUI Prototype open file
./htmlExport/index.html in your browser and navigate by clicking
on navigation tabs/buttons. <br>
If you want to edit the Kimchi GUI Prototype you will find
further information in ./readme.txt<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
Jan<br>
