Thanks everyone for an enthusiastic response of the Look and feel proposal to update
Ovirt. I am glad that overall the reaction is positive. Here is a summary of what I heard
from you all as suggestions for improvement -
Feedback on L&F for Ovirt
- Push back on simplistic icons for communicative value and subjective preference +
familiarity with existing
- Too much space for resource graphs ( percentage columns on console screen)
- Colors
---Evaluate the choice of greens in the load bars ( too big and too bright and attention
getting for something that is supplementary info), the unselected icons and the green line
in masthead.
--- The shades of blue and green don't seem to go very well together - Evaluate for
cohesion/ harmony and readability.
- How will the User portal look in the new style?
- On Console, the tabs recede and the toolbar dominates
- Same x is used for remove and cancel migrate - confusing
- The tabs/ sub tabs now don't look like tabs - It now looks just like text.. Should
be recognizable as tabs or Nav items.
- Make sure 1064x768 resolution is not worse than it is today in new design
- Primary info in the grid should stand out and not drown in all the noise.
New ideas/ features ( Not in scope for now)
Sparklines to give us some sense of recent history for each row
Column customization/ column sorting
Reducing bottom pane with details
Better treatment of Events
Low resolution layouts/ usability issues
Responsive design
Please let me know if I misunderstood anything or if I missed anything significant. I will
work with the visual designers and incorporate some of these suggestions and present
another iteration.
Thanks
Malini

Hi Malini,
> From the L&F perspective it looks much better.
What I'd like you to review is the resolution you are using.
This seems to be taken in a full-hd screen, where I think we
should be able to support somewhat lower resolution, where
L&F may have a big impact.
Would you consider posting also a lower resolution sample?
Responsive web design[1] could be the answer and a nice feature.
