Hi all,I really like Jenkins and use it daily, but one thing annoys me and that's the GUI. It's not that user friendly and doesn't look good. I hoped that would have been changed after the logo design contest as www.jenkins-ci.org has gotten a new design aswel as the bug tracker. I want to contribute so we can make the GUI better and faster, and I have some proposal: - Use Twitter Bootstrap<http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/index.html> and change the colors a bit to match the Jenkins colors - Clean up current HTML - Remove all inline styling (Include CSS in the head) - Remove all inline javascript (Include at the bottom) - Create sprite images wich results in less http calls I already tried to use the twitter bootstrap wich results directly in a better looking Jenkins GUI (see the attachment).
Thanks. Would you be interested in creating a branch and doing the work there? It's great that you are interested in working on it, and I think there are things I can help in ensuring backward compatibility, etc.
I'm also trying to decompose monolithic style.css and hudson-behaviour.js and co-locate them via tag files so that we can see related code more quickly, which I think is relevant to this effort as well.
On top of that, there are other committors like Ohtake-san and Domi, who I suspect have some opinions about these things!
