First, thank you to Branko and whoever created the first version of the new layout from earlier today. These are great ideas and really helping to move web2py to a more updated look. I think this is a real improvement over the previous admin layout, though perhaps not quite ready as is. Some comments:
- I think it looks better if we can keep most of the background white instead of these massive blocks of gray. The first new layout from earlier today looked better in that regard, though the orange text on white background was a bit hard to read, and I wasn't crazy about the gray buttons (at least in some places). - We could also perhaps do without the black heading bars, though if we keep them, they would look less stark if they were closer to the color of the page header (i.e., more of a "carbon" color). - The orange buttons with white text look fine when there's just one or two in isolation, but large groups of them bunched together starts to look a bit overwhelming. - On the edit application page, the file names should be focal, but they are now the least prominent elements, with all the edit and delete buttons standing out instead (since edit and delete are repeated for every file, there's no reason for them to be so prominent). - Due to lack of border-radius support, the buttons don't look that great in IE (not too big a deal, but in case anyone cares).
