Hey,

We haven't changed the API, so everything should still work. For example, I just installed 4.1 versions of dashboard and support-plugin in master, and all's well [*]:

API:

api.addSubTab('Template', 'Red Hat Documentation', 'my-host-subtab-template', '<url snip>', {alignRight: true});
api.setTabAccessible('my-host-subtab-template', true);

Inline image 1

[*] however, note that "alignRight" is now ignored

And dashboard 4.1.8 installed in master engine:

Inline image 2


That said, we probably should have sent some announcement about making sure the plugins actually look good with the new theme. If some plugins are greenish, that will look bad.

To help with styling external things, we've started exposing more CSS via a new SASS brand module:
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/tree/master/frontend/brands/ovirt-brand/src/main/sass
Also, we're heavily relying on base PatternFly styles, and plugins should do the same. For example, the new dialog styles are completely PatternFly [http://www.patternfly.org/pattern-library/forms-and-controls/modal-overlay/] and we don't do anything extra on top of that.

Let us know if something doesn't work, or you need help styling something.

Hi,

I just got a question from an ovirt-optimizer user about the support
in 4.2. And I realized I haven't heard anything about how UI plugins
should be updated to work with the new UI.

Is there anything special that needs to be done to make the plugin
functional? Or will everything still work somehow?

Best regards
