New design regression and glitches

 

Was checking new design to get back "in the game" and found a regression as well as a few small weirdnesses/glitches (nothing very big) which I'm not sure about and am probably wrong on some (if not all), what are your thoughts/feedbacks on them team? 

Regression:
During previous sprint, sma changed pagination limits to "20, 50, 100, 500, unlimited" (and maybe configurable? not sure) but now is back to "20, 40, 60, 80, 100".

Glitches (seen in OSX, both Safari 4 & Firefox 3.6):
* Mandatory fields on blue background look ugly on new design, is there anything about them in it? Other/better color?
* Database drop form not centered?
* UI/UX team apparently changed initial configuration screens last sprint, now display a file upload widget instead of picture, what happens on GTK, why does that happen on web? Is it error on web client or UI/UX (incorrect usage of control)?
* In initial configuration screens, separator is horizontal. Addons views ask for vertical…
* Logo picker (in Configure Your Company initial configuration screen) looks ugly
* Cursor for help popups (e.g. "Install Generic Modules") is text cursor, should probably be `help` instead (or `pointer`, but probably `help`)
* Progress bar looks a bit weird in new design (not too much, but a bit). Was there none in design? Maybe ask fp/designer for a nice progress bar?
* Button positions/sizings are a bit weird, at least in installer-type screens (e.g. skip button small and flush against progressbar), dunno what could be done though (example: generate chart of accounts from initial installer screen)
* o2ms still have white background, yet on gray screens, that normal in new design?
* After installer, in left-hand submenus (inside accordions):
	- text color behaves weirdly: black inside but only when over text itself, not when whole row recolors, text becomes "fat white" (white with white shadow?) when not over text itself, ugly
	- icons now don't look as good on new design, maybe ask fp/designers for new nicer icons? Or try to find nice icon sets with licenses we can use (free or fp pays)? Something like famfamfam's Silk pngs
	  or remove them completely? (new design files don't have icons do they?)
* List view (e.g. project > project > tasks):
	- According to design, filter buttons next to one another (with no separator) should be "merged" (straight edge between, see Partners screen)
	- Custom filters unstyled (click + button next to filters)
	- Same for list limit dropdown
	- DELETE button should be next to NEW (inside list) and only appear when at least one object selected. Same with EDIT.
	- On some filter buttons (e.g. in project management) icon goes over text (icon too big? text too small?)
	- Also some buttons (no text?) are too thin and ugly (project > scrum > scrum meetings, "current sprint" button)
	- In projects list (project > project > projects), group by stays right of filter
	- All filter buttons in project management seem to have exact same icon, that normal? Is that default or is that icon asked for? Same in Warehouse, most buttons seem to be weird geometrical shape.
* Admin > Config > Start Configuration, just displays `None` in iframe, no error in log.
* Tree views look pretty bad (Warehouse > Inventory Control > Location Structure, check all three titles, all look broken in different ways), and title of section unstyled?
* Right-hand foldable menu ("secondary options") might be better as an overlay menu (so it doesn't change size of list view when pops out)
* If accordion title long enough, collides with + icon (Warehouse, first title "warehouse management")
* When closing accordion (or better, selecting something else in all left-hand menu), doesn't "unselect" item:
	- open Sales > Sales, select Leads
	- open Sales > Products, click Products
	- Now click on Sales > Sales to open again
	- Leads is selected, even though current screen/selection is Products.

That's all I've seen so far, otherwise good job on integration.
