We might introduce a hover state eventually, if we can resolve the issues that this brings (see my earlier remarks in Matt's email). For 4.5, we wanted to stay true to the 4.4 family and felt that introducing an entirely new way of navigating within page editing would be too much for a mere dot release, in particular because we might have to change it again once we're clear on where 5.0 takes us. > > 2.

The dotted area is immediately recognized as placeholder. We added a bar on top because else the placeholder would be considered part of the component before. With the bar, the placeholder is clearly an equal among peers. > > 3. Is it possible to get some parameters like color="" in the bars.

The bars do have a slight gradient image in the background, however, to make them stand out a bit more. But you can change this, if you desire so. > 4.

Please add a focus event and delete this click events to > visible this parts. I'm not sure I understand what you mean here; you cannot move a component outside of the group it is a child of. This, btw, is one of the areas where we think the 4.5 editor really helps: it makes it clear to which area/group a component belongs to and thus makes it clear where you can move your component to and where not. > 9. I don't know when, which bar is visible and when it isn't. Please answer > about the logic. With 4.5, just click on the element you want to edit. You get its component bar, the bar of all siblings and the area bar of the surrounding group. In addition, a placeholder marks where new components can be added. Your attention is focused on what you want to edit, the borders of the group your component belongs to are clearer now as well. There are some difficult, nested components - teaser groups, etc. These were difficult to grasp, comprehend and edit before and we're still looking for a better, more convincing solution to deal with them. Some of the problems we currently have in the templates, however, are due to the fact that we didn't have proper areas and no optional areas.
