Any design Thoughts?

Terms:

I'll add these to the proper feedback section once complete (including screengrabs), however for now, I'm having a good look into usability and design improvements. Any thoughts very welcome.

So far I have a few suggestions, but will add more as they arise:

  • On Dashboard- recent content icons should all be coloured; currently some are grey and others coloured
  • Increase contrast by making block titles more prominent; emboldened, greater horizontal padding, dark (possibly coloured bg). It will help the eye pick clarify page elements.
  • Make the content filter a bit more visible, possibly open up the drop down?
  • When in a group (at top level), that group administrator's link could be more prominent- currently tucked down the near bottom of group block list and then also down the bottom of the page (right) in Group Admins block.
  • Introduce a 'button' look for some secondary link elements.
  • Home page shout box usernames (if long) push over the edge into the 'speech bubble'

On the whole I'm liking it a great deal. Well done all involved!

More to follow. Any ideas or thoughts anyone?

Admin Interface

Hi @bilton,

Agree with you about the overall impression of the Acquia-Drupal-Common distribution.

+1 on : ...  icons should all be coloured

+1 on : ... Increase contrast

though all other points are also very valid and welcomed suggestions.

I would add one:

1. the Admin Drupal contributed module is preferable and it render a more over-viewable user experience and fastening the learning curve, like it does in Open Atrium.

 

Edit: You may see a quick modified acquia_common_theme screenshot here

Edit2:  Some colored Icons example you find HERE

Tags

Tags of posts have to be moved from current position to separate string and be more viewable (just some CSS-tricks of adding before: image, for example)

Tags in group's description block also placed "not-so-well"
