This sounds like a good start

I think we need to develop some layout best practices for the main content area. There seems to be some lack of direction or a lack of consistency in that area of the UI. It may be due to new contributors and committers coming on board who aren't aware of the existing "de facto" layout practices.

For instance, there seems to be an overabundance of screenlets being used. Also, "Create New" buttons aren't placed in the layout in a consistent way.

Many of the screens in OFBiz follow a certain pattern, so they lend themselves well to screen decorators. The Find screen decorator (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1635) is a good example. We could do the same thing with other types of screens.

I think it would be a good thing to get a discussion going. Let's share our experiences with UIs, pros and cons of different approaches, share screenshots, etc. Then we can condense it all into a UI Best Practices guide for the Wiki.

What do you think?
