27 -== Improvements ==
42 +=== Logged / Edit mode ===
28 28  
29 -* **New "Add" menu**
30 -** //Reason//: new people arriving want to create stuff (the create options are less visible in their current position)
31 -** //Solution//: have a general "Add" menu
44 +[[[[image:editMode.png||width="900"]]>>http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/ActionMenuProposal2/editMode.png]]
32 32  
33 -* **Wiki/Space/Page separation**
34 -** //Reason//: have a complete hierarchy of page location and actions
35 -** //Solution//: Adding a visual sign between wiki|space in the global menu to imply hierarchy
36 -** //Consequence//: Current action menus separation: (Wiki/Space/Page | User | Content) actions
46 +== Changes / Additions / Possible Additions ==
47 +* **Position changed for items**:
48 +** Add menu: "Space"; "Page"; "Page from Office" (+ renaming)
49 +** Page menu: "Watch page"; "Access Rights"; "Copy"; "Rename"; "Delete"
37 37  
38 -* **New "Delete" Space entry
39 -** //Status//: already [[discussed>>http://markmail.org/thread/o7pvzci3lyfdvs6h]]
40 -** //Solution//: added under Space menu entry (can be extended to include also Rename, etc.)
41 -** //Consequence//: Page delete action should be near / similar (moved also with "Copy" and "Rename")
51 +* **Items added to menu**:
52 +** Separators for Add, Space, Page, Edit menus
53 +** Add menu: "Page from Template"; "Comment to Page"; "Attachment to Page"
54 +** Space menu: "Delete"
55 +** Help entry
42 42  
43 -* **Better Wiki/Space naming representation**
44 -** //Problem//: database naming of Wiki/Space menus are really difficult to understand for a new user or to document
45 -** //Solution//: WIKI: Wikiname, explicitly state the representation type of the name
57 +* **Possible item additions if we find them relevant**:
58 +** Wiki/Space menu: "Document Index"; "Dashboard"
59 +[[[[image:addition1.png]]>>http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/ActionMenuProposal2/addition1.png]]
60 +** More actions menu: "Send by mail"
61 +[[[[image:addition2.png]]>>http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/ActionMenuProposal2/addition2.png]]
46 46  
47 -* **Uppercase usage**
48 -** //Reason//: "MySuperSpace" looks like "MYSPECIALSPACE"
49 -** //Solution//: WIKI: Wikiname (have user entered data unaltered, like space/page names, user names) and use uppercase only for top menu entries
50 -** //Limitations//: Colibri skin uses uppercase for form labels, panel titles, buttons, action menu; so we use uppercase for separation or to put emphasis on functionality. Thus, uppercase can't be totally removed from action menus, but we could adjust it to be used just for labeling and separation of menu items
63 +{{include document="Improvements.ActionMenuProposal2Improvements"/}}
51 51  
52 -* **"Type: Name" pattern**
53 -** //Usage//:
54 -*** "Wiki: xwiki"; "Space: Main"; "Page: WebHome"
55 -*** "Profile: Administrator"
56 -*** "Edit: Wiki"; "Editing: WebHome"

1 +There is a problem with annotations.
2 +Marta said: "This won't be like the green Start button from WinXP which cannot be changed and re-styled right? :)"
3 +
4 +We should be able to style it, but maybe we should add some more params in the Color themes for it :)
5 +
6 +Another idea I had was to use some gradient on it, using the same menuBackgroundColor, but has limited support. Also the first version had some round corners :) just like WinXP, but that didn't match Colibri's style.
7 +
8 +The idea is that we have to give it contrast from the Wiki/Space/Page breadcrumb, in order to separated them (this is also done by spacing) ... but also to attract the eyes on it. (If we think this is only for beginners we could make it green only on first usages [like a tutorial something], and then blend it more with the style)
9 +
10 +Open for suggestions. Thanks Marta for comment
