Hi, So after 2 weeks of available time to express opinions I have some conclusions: we are going to implement P2. I've created http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14265 We are going to make sure to have a span around the labels so that they can be easily hidden in custom skins.
We had 42 votes around the subject held on 4 channels, for more details see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions#HVoting P2 had 65% of the votes, while P4 35%. Thanks everyone for the votes Caty On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 12:36 PM, Mahomed Hussein <maho...@custodiandc.com> wrote: > > I’d go as far as saying that the labels could actually be distracting by > taking more visual > > space and catching your eyes when you look at the UI as a whole and want > to focus on the > > content. > > I totally agree with this about the UI and wasted space and distractions. > > > Now this could be minor and the advantages for the newcomers could be > more important than the > > small downside for returning users. > > Well newcomers just need to learn about the functions of the buttons by > using them once or twice.
