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.

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. [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design -- Federico _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
