Yes, but let me link your mock up to the 0.7 spec first. So that
all the mock ups are all found on the same wiki page.
Here's a new pass with the changes we talked about:
+ Rework timezone/subscribe header area
Ah, I realize now why I put the subscribe drop down list below the
sign up etc, it was because it made a horizontal line w/ the time
zone drop down list.
I realize the reason you mentioned about users wanting to just move
the data out to the desktop—and it's less prominent below the sign
up. I guess it's a bit of, do we want users to sign up for Hub or
if they already have the desktop, then it shouldn't be lost on them
to find this subscribe drop down list. Agreed it's really a small
issue and would not make a big deal about it either way. Though if
I were to make a choice, I think I would flip it back, but keep the
bold +font size 'Sign up!'. That's not an image right?
+ Get rid of plus icon, replace with Add text underneath
Looks great. We'll probably need to make that text in the blue
link. I know Matthew will harp on that one. ;)
+ Streamline NOW/LATER/DONE buttons
Excellent!
+ Make buttons a middle-grey
Looks good. But when the button is in the down state, the gradient
goes from top = dark, bottom = light. I can't tell in the view
selector which one is the selected. Or are you saying in the view
selector, the dashboard is actually in a 'normal' state, so it
looks like it can be pushed?
If you were trying to just whip this up fast, then no big deal—send
it out first and we'll fix the details in the final file. ;)
+ Darker outline for RO (Rollover) effect
Looks good!
+ Flatten out selected sort column header
I know we agreed to this, but I'm sorta indifferent to it
currently. Maybe because it's over the triage states? We'll leave
it as it, it's just looking weird to me.
+ Rework dialog
Looks good! In the style guide, it might be good to indicate
exactly the position from the top left corner to the top left
corner of the dialog—where it's position in the window. That all
dialogs are positioned centered or a few pixels higher on the on
the app., 'cause optically your eye will always make things look
like it's not centered, even when it is.
Additionally, I've also tweaked the blue link and selection
highlight colors so that they're not so they don't compete with
the red dog as much...
Ah, I meant to ask about this but didn't think about it till
recently—the link color you chose, is it ok for color blind ppl? I
realize this is a random issue since the app does not currently
display visited links. You see, Bear had pegged me once, so you
know…it's Bear! ;) In any case, picking a happy medium from a list
here might be useful in case we need to show active vs. visited
etc.: http://www.toledo-bend.com/colorblind/BlueChart.html

I've also updated the Sign-up Workflow with the Instructions page.
(I know the buttons and logo are all wrong, but I don't know that
it's worth fixing it for all the screens.)
No need to fix all the screens, but we may want to fix the
activation page I mocked up—if you want the logo on the top left or
centered. The button will be standard w/ the existing button
templates you did.

SignUpForAnAccountForOtherCalendaringClients#GatewayPage
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/Journal/CosmoSignUpWorkflow
+ user types in 'http://hub.chandlerproject.org
+ probably don't need the 'for one' text, sign up is fine.
+ #2 sign up dialog which overlaps the login
+ Last step, user is not taken to log in page, but is logged in
automatically after email verification (I hope, that's what I spec-
ed out). =)
Questions:
+ Do we need a Mousedown state?
Yes. See file I had sent earlier.
+ Do we want to do a copy review and make sure we're using
consistent language across both Hub and Desktop?
Yes!!!!!
LMK if you have any questions. Thanks Mimi, this is awesome work!
