[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] Usage of Bootstrap Switch (http://www.bootstrap-switch.org/) for plugins ginger new ui developments

[Samuel Henrique De Oliveira Guimaraes]

Hi team,

Although the toggle checkboxes may look nice and easier to customize than the default checkboxes (we currently use some work-arounds to style them), I don't know how far this change could improve usability. In fact I believe in some cases this style confuses users.

Please check this:
http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/63884/checkbox-vs-toggle

If we use this style, we would have to change the labels as the second answer to this topic suggests.
Even in Ginger network configurations windows I don't think it is a good idea to use the toggle switch (https://github.com/kimchi-project/ginger/files/25667/NetworkMockups.pdf) 

Regards,
Samuel

It is good to provide example on what the library will be able to do and the benefits it provides.
