Bruno Busco updated OFBIZ-2118:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: vt_bluelight.zip
                VisualThemeMessage.patch
                AppMenuDropDown.patch

Hi have moved a step forward as follows:
1) In the attached VisualThemeMessage.patch file there is a change to allow a 
VisualTheme to specify a different message.ftl file to render the messages. I 
followed Adrian's pattern for the AppMenu.
This new feature has been used to implement the drop-down Theme

2) The AppMenuDropDown.patch has been updated and I have changed the Menu 
rendered to incapsulate the menu in an additional <ul> <li> wrapper. This is 
used to implement the drop-down by using CSS only and not javascript.
All applications that does not use the menu widget have been updated in their 
appbar.ftl file
The maincss.css file has been updated to work with this new menu structure.

3) A cleaner vt_bluelight.zip file with the drop-down theme is included.

Now I am quite happy with this implementation and I would like to be reviewd 
and eventually committed (I cannot in the framework).

I have not been able to make it work with IE. I have tryed many solution but 
unfortunately I found no way, sorry. A CSS guru help seems needed.

In any case the IE incompatibility affects the theme only and thus I suggest to 
commit the changes anyway.

> Hi all,
> we have discussed several times about a new backoffice layout with drop-down 
> menus to have less crowded screens.
> I am experimenting some solutions and I would like to show you what I came to 
> in order to discuss about it.
> What you can see in the screenshots attached is based on an new visual-theme 
> but also on several changes in the decorators.
> The idea is to have a breadcrumbs that is a drop-down menu also.
> The leftmost Item is always "Home" and when the user hover on it the 
> applications menu is shown up.
> Then the user can select an application and the application name is shown in 
> the second position of the breadcrumbs.
> If the user hovers on it the selected application menu is shown and the user 
> can select an option that is shown in third position on breadcrumbs.
> The idea is to have the breadcrumbs to incorporate both the applications 
> menu, the single application menu and the tab bars.
> At the right ent of the same line of the breadcrumbs (in the white background 
> region) the actual screen name should be visible.
> I think that this way of navigating offers to the user a complete view of all 
> applications as a whole.
> For the moment I only attach screenshots to this jira because I need to clean 
> my code to make a presentable patch. I just want to hear if you think this is 
> a model that we can go through. If the community agrres on this that I will 
> spend more time to clean the code and submit a patch.
