Hi devs,
I would like to take your attention to the fact that when selecting
the
bluelight theme we get the "logout" option in the drop down menu
(and in
some case like projectmgr even the "help" option) that is not really
fine.
I did place a "logout" link in the header of the bluelight theme to
be ready
to the removal of the "logout" menu-item from the CommonAppMenu.
Yes, this is a good point. This particular way of organizing the menus
makes this issues more clear, but really we should have changed this a
long time ago when the current user's name was added to the header.
That seems to make the most sense as a place to put the logout link.
If there is no user logged in we could also change that to say "Not
Logged In" with a "Login" link next to it.
I propose to create a new _framework_ CommonHeaderMenu with the
following
menu-items:
Preferences, Help, Logout
The Preferences link should take to a _framework_ defined screen
that let
the user to select its own preferences like:
VisualTheme, Language, TimeZone, etc.
These links could be removed from the header and we will have it less
cowded. The actual Logout menu-item should be removed from the
CommonAppMenu.
Yes, these are a bit crowded, so +1 on that too (and I agree it
belongs in the framework as all of the infrastructure for these things
is in the framework).
