lucidNTR opened a new pull request #1029: Feat/sidebar design fixes
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/pull/1029
 
 
   ## Overview
   
   The sidebar requires too much brain overhead and i tried to improve the 
usability with common UI design patterns:
    
    - rule of 5s: clusters of items with more than 5 are perceived as "many" 
and individual items are hard to find. by seperating the menu entries into the 
top and bottom elements with a little spacer, the brain is releived a bit.
    - order of importance: the top elements of a list are generally more 
important then lower elements, but the sidebar toggle is still the highest 
element in the sidebar, even though it has the lowest importance of the 
entries. also the icons to show and hide the sidebar titles is non standard and 
hard to understand, and very different between the show and hide states (eg. 
logout button to hide the sidebar titles.) I tried to adopt as much to the 
standard way to represent hiding sidebar titles as possible, while having 
minimal impact on the overall design.
   
   
   ## Testing recommendations
   
   Purely visual changes, please rebuild and manually inspect the design 
changes.
