[ovirt-devel] New design for the Gerrit UI

Fri May 5 21:33:29 UTC 2017

Here's my take.

The line on the top is a little thicker than I like, but we have the same
thickness in oVirt (I checked). I'm ok with shrinking it in both places.

I put in the logo from the oVirt login page. I added patternfly and
bootstrap. Changed the font to OpenSans. Positioned things and fixed
paddings. Changed the button and form field to patternfly type (blue button)

Best wishes,
Greg
