New Create UI concept

[Henri Bergius]

Hi,

Here is a slideshow displaying a new UI concept for Create:

Comments welcome. I think this has some potential for merging the
different UI styles we've seen from Liip's Create implementation and
the default one.

I really like it.

I am only unsure about the "Save" "Cancel": I think the "save" button should be green. I would rather expect an "revert" button to be red. What is the "Cancel" button supposed to do? Cancel the Save action makes no sense, because this is the reason for the save drop down that ask the user to confirm.

Hi,

Cancel and save buttons are only shown when the user is editing something in "edit mode".
Clicking the "Cancel" button stops "edit mode" and restores the status back to normal without saving any of the made changes. This makes perfect sense from the UX perspective when you actually try it.

Save button drop down is for extra functions that can be bound with save action. When saving is confirmed the edit status is returned back to normal and there wont be cancel or save button until user starts editing again.

Color scheme can be always tweaked and I agree that "Save" could be green also. Color red usually represents something being recorded or saved, hence the color red in the presentation.

Best regards,

Riku

hi bergie,

really like the design!
at least to me seems like this we could stop having the fixed toolbar
next to the edited area. i will ping those liipers for feedback who
where in favor of having it fixed directly at the text area.

cheers,david

Hi,

I'm currently building a sketch (no functionalities in this one yet)
It is very much work in progress and it might explode in your hands.
http://demo.nemein.net/create/


Few things that are coming but are not yet there:
- Edit area highlighting
- Responsive design (automatic UI scaling for mobile devices and
smaller screens)
- Some editor examples

Br,
Riku

Great work!

Everybody, please comment on this ASAP. If things look good, I'll
start integrating it to the live Create on Monday.

BTW, since I don't think this has been sent here yet, here is some
info on Liip's Create implementation in Symfony CMF:
