Carsten Ziegeler commented on FELIX-1959:
-----------------------------------------
Looks really cool!
I completly agree that having a common look at and feel across all plugins is
desirable.
The current implementation of some plugins when it comes to rendering is too
complex. We generate partial html, have javascript that adds missing html etc.
Very confusing and error prone.
One idee I discussed briefly with Felix M., was to go one step back and make
the plugins deliver all html - without styling, without javascript etc. and
then add the dynamic stuff via jquery.
I haven't done anything with jQuery UI (but will do in the next days). If it
helps in making the development of plugins easier and more consistent, I'm all
for it!
Could you show some sample code of how this would look like from the
development perspective?

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Web Console
> Reporter: Valentin Valchev

>
> Currently the Web Console uses heavily on the JQuery framework. Using a
> unified JavaScript framework simplifies development of all plugins and
> unifies the used approach.
> However, when talking about visual styling, there are number of differences
> because each plugin developer uses own styles.
> My suggestion is to adopt the JQuery UI . The benefits of using it as unified
> widget/css framework are:
> - no time to spend on writing widgets already in the library
> - clean CSS visual styling
> - easy way to change the L&F by changing the theme (extended branding
> support!)
> - improved cross-browser support (JQuery UI takes care of CSS differences)
> Using the JQuery UI framework the developer shouldn't care about color but
> only for layout - components position; and for data being displayed.
> To illustrate the benefits I've saved the "Log Service" page, modified it to
> use JQuery UI, took screen-shot, modified the theme CSS only, and again took
> screen-shot, and finally added the original L&F for reference, so you can
> easily compare the result.
> The attached image contains the combined screen-shots.
