Andreas Weder updated MGNLUI-205:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
We've defined new colors and a small form change for the bars in the page 
editor. Please implement these changes so that the editor matches the rest of 
the visual design by the time we release Alpha 1.

In essence the *changes in form* are:
* we'll eventually use a different, more apparent _form_ to distinguish areas 
from components. We no longer use two greens for that.
* *for now* just take away the rounded corners from area bars, but stick with 
the thicker bar at the top, the thinner bar at the bottom.
* So don't implement the white arrow as shown in the attached screen shot.

The *changes in color* are:
* the dark green marks the currently selected element
* its _direct_ children are marked green. With "direct children" I mean 
children on the next hierarchy level _only_.
* its sibling bars (any bars on the same level) and its parent bar are light 
green.
* all other visible elements are light gray

The *idea behind the new color scheme* is:
* we use less actual colors, but merely shades of green. The selection color in 
the page editor is the Magnolia typical dark green.
* we use shades of green to mark the current edit focus, with the dark green 
clearly marking the currently selected element.

* its children are marked with a less strong green to explain what the selected 
element contains. This helps to read the context inside the selected element.
* the bars the currently selected element finds itself in is indicated with a 
light green. This helps to read the context above the selected element, which 
is useful to understand where I could move the element to.
* all other visible elements are visible, but not colored (light gray)

I'll post some additional explanations and images illustrating them on a wiki 
page. I plan to not do this now, but if it helps, I can do that earlier.

We've defined new colors and a small form change for the bars in the page 
editor. Please implement these changes so that the editor matches the rest of 
the visual design by the time we release Alpha 1.

The following changes have to be implemented:
- use new colors for all bars and the currently selected bar
- slights change the form of the area bars:
** remove the rounded edges
** ensure the height of the top and the bottom bar is as designed


Changed description to contain what is to do.
