Summary for October 12th 2010 UI Chat

Good meeting today, lots covered:

  • More elements added to UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. elements PSD (props Chexee) http://cl.ly/fc8538e1ac2e4e55f423 – more elements to come:
    • Notifications
    • Icons (Contact Ben Dunkle)
    • Spinners
  • TECannon progressing with other UI PSD (general structure)
  • Blue admin skin progress (props saracannon) http://cl.ly/8e5d3f892fabd8695bcerevisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision. to follow:
    • Deep blue borders + arrow icon for active menu state
    • Mockup w/ dark grey text + arrow icon for active menu state
    • Revised screen options tabs + fav menu
  • Update from JohnONolan (that’s me) on CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site. refactor progress (preview: http://cl.ly/2n1C)
    • Only restructure for 3.1 – no code changes
    • Probably only wp-admin.dev.css for 3.1 – this is a big job, so needs a phased approach
  • Tabs, few issues with current approach and proposed alternative discussed – mockups welcome for next week
  • General WP UI plans discussed for future releases
