Re: [Tiki-devel] Theme Design Proposal for the Administration UX and Control Panels re-organization

Once again, thank you all for the valuable feedback! Me and Katy too is 
glad you mostly like it!

Just a few quick remarks on the comments made on the wiki page directly:

First Design Proposal - very nice! Awesome job, Katy!

Not nearly as flashy and unique as Gary's but IMO, less information all 
at once (e.g. simpler) is always 'better', or at least easier to 
navigate. If the goal is to remove obstacles for 'on-boarding' new 
users, this step definitely helps.

Might be good to make the main category field names (General, Content, 
Design, etc.) a few font sizes bigger so they stand out more.
br,
Mike

Thanks! Katy made the section titles a bit bigger as suggested by Mike. 
It will be visible on the new image exports soon. We will also include 
link to the design file on Figma, so you can zoom in/out and review the 
designs better directly there...

@luciash @Katy

Nicely done, thank you.

My 2 cents:

  * It’s a bit dark... May be a different colour for the access menu and
    preferences search field than the left col ?
  * I would move the advanced/basic switch right (aligned with the main
    page left) (keep all the left to for the logo)
  * Remove "system menu" (it is just taking room)
  * Reduce the white space around things (look and feel title can be
    moved a little up)

Thank you Bernard for your comment! We reviewed your "2 cents" :) but we 
agreed just on a slight white space reduction. Your example feels 
already too much cluttered and it doesn't look that modern/fresh imho - 
it looks too much too close all together (reminds me the old Tiki themes 
for some reason? :D) and too close to the sidebar and topbar.
White space is good! It was proven many times in web design articles. 
But don't worry, it will be responsive and on smaller screens and mobile 
it will be reduced appropriately to save the screen space.
Regarding the top bar we prefer to keep it in the dark gray color for 
dark navbar selection and maybe light gray for the light one but not to 
complicate it withany other color as you never fit in everyone's colors 
preferences, so best is staying neutral. We also wanted to keep the 
Basic/Advanced switcher together with the filter icon above the sidebar 
because it affects what will appear disabled/enabled there and on 
smaller screens it would occupy too much horizontal space of the top bar 
so then the search etc. would not fit and cause wrapping or other 
overlapping issues.

Cheers again, looking forward to have it live in Tiki 23 already!
