Hi Malini,
Really nice :)
Few comments:
1. The tabs now don't look like tabs, and IMHO it's confusing. It now looks
just like text - is it a button? a tab? another screen. I think it's not
clear. It is also less clear in the sub tabs section as well.
I think because I presented a static screen, it is not clear how this can function as tabs
or categories/ sections of information. Upon hover and selection, the visual treatment
will indicate that this is a Navigation option. Having said that, maybe we can try to
strengthen the hover/ selected state visual treatment.
2. How about making the tabs area Data Centers/Storage/Hosts... text
in bold?
Because the buttons under them look more vivid and the tabs area looks pale.
Will iterate with a visual designer on how these two elements can be further balanced.
3. Having the same "X" icon in "Remove" and
"Cancel migration" options is
confusing. Especially when they are in the same menu.
Good point. FYI, These icons were quick placeholders to get a quick overall impression of
the new proposal.
4. Something that was present in the previous UI as well, but perhaps
can be
improved - the Events option.
There are 3 "Events" buttons/menu in the same screen. Either they represent
different events options (different context, for example) - and they should
be named and placed accordingly, or maybe the number of "events" occurences
can be reduced in the UI?
Again, this is something on my list too. But as indicated earlier, this proposal aims to
freshen the current UI as is.
5. The colors of the new look and feel - maybe try a different green?
The
blue seems to have a lighter shade than green, so perhaps somehow make them
more unified?
Will iterate with visual designer.
