BOUNTY: Web GUI reprogramming

[c0urier]

Hi Charlie0440:

The save button is stuck: http://prntscr.com/1x47i7

Else it's working perfectly.

@courier can you elaborate other then a screenshot of a button.

[c0urier]

When you click "Save settings" it reloads the page, and the "Save settings" button is still here. Need the index.php source or?

@Clear-Pixel:

I hate the horizontal menu….

You mean the main menu across the top?
Any particular reason?

Yes it is, I can fix it but it shouldn't cause any issue. Does it for you?

[c0urier]

No no, none what so ever, I'm just used to it going away when I have clicked it haha.

Good job!

[charlie0440]

@courier should be fixed in new zip. It will only show saved button once a column has been deleted or added.

Yes main menu….

Here's an article that will help you understand some of the thought processes that are required by a professional UX designer. It's not rocket science, just require a little bit of common sense and thorough planning.

Ok, I appreciate that careful thought has to go into the design process. If one of the techniques used to improve the user experience is surveys then: what specifically don't you like about the menu?
I could speculate that on modern ever larger aspect ratio displays it makes more sense to use vertical space for the menu. I notice, perhaps ironically, that almost all of the referenced UX websites have a horizontal menu across the top.  ;)

I agree with Stephen. Just dropping a crude one-liner to a good effort on re-designing a theme is very much a pointless thing to do. And referencing a UX blah article, that does nothing to clear up the confusion about your lack of explaining why you dislike the main menu on top (when in fact your link shows many sites that have exactly that) is just - I don't know - senseless? If you want to criticize, feel free, but would it be too much then to actually tell, why you think it is a bad decision in general or subjectively?

I can see both parts. I use quite a few (mobile) devices in portrait mode. A vertical menu bar would cut into the (limited) space of those devices so a top menu is great for those. On a big tablet I can easily go to landscape and a vertical menu would be nice. Dito for the big screen on the wall. So both have pros and cons.

@ kelsen…..

Here's a excellent idea to hide all the unnecessary clutter top of the status page.

You can hide all the buttons in the Status: Dashboard...... have a down arrow on the right side of the dashboardwhich when clicked will expand theexpose the following.

Widgets button
Welcome dashboard
Add column button
Delete Column Button
Theme Color button

Once theis expanded it will expose the items above, clicking on the arrow in theagain will collapse the unhidden.

As it is now, they are all taking up a lot of unnecessary screen real estate at top of page.

If you don't have a chance to do it, I will take care of the coding soon.

@charlie0440 - It's not possible to delete whitelists in the snort package, screenshot: http://sdumps.net/OE

Furthermore when you click Dashboard after you've been in the snort package it links wrongly. Don't know if it's a bug from previously. If you restart Snort you'll also receive some errors.

Have you tested with your theme with the snort package?

I see, I tried to do so, but, I just can't find a way to close the, the loader.js is ignoring the.

@kelsen how you trying to do it, jQuery?
