Re: Concept UI for 0.6.? (new theme in development)

Any 0.6 specific features we should be aware of?
0.6 doesn't exist yet, and we haven't even figured out what 0.6 will consist of, so don't expect to see any 0.6 stuff in this theme. Pair is listing it as 0.6 because this theme is in no way expected to be ready for 0.5 final.huleboeren wrote: Any 0.6 specific features we should be aware of?
Read the roadmap in the OP or the changelog. There's barely anything done so far. All we've got so far is queue and history.rollingeyeball wrote: Has the config section not been done yet, or am I doing something wrong?
The config page(s) show nothing but black, and the 3 nonfunctional tabs at the top.
Why not ever?It will not be packaged with 0.5, and maybe not with any SABnzbd+ release ever.
I personally like the current Plush theme with the queue above history but I would make it so that you can toggle the pane for historypair of dimes wrote: Hi JustJv it would be great to get help. What I haven't been able to figure out is the best layout for the queue and history. I'd like to build this with as much of the default mechanisms provided in jqueryui/jqgrid/jqlayout as possible. Maybe jqlayout is taking it a step too far, past what is really needed. Start by visiting the websites for these 3 javascript libraries, viewing the demos, and comparing what is available with what I have added to Concept.
Some of the questions are:
- what layout/orientation for queue/history?
-- side by side? (wastes half screen if say the queue is empty)
-- queue above history? (very wasteful of horizontal space, like current plush theme)
-- combined queue/history into one list? (difficult to determine how it would function)
-- different tab panes for queue/history? click a different tab to view queue, then another to view history, but not at same time (even more wasteful of space?)
- queue functions
-- have per-nzb option selections (like plush and all other themes currently) or have a single set of option selections which apply to checked nzbs (allows setting multiple nzbs at the same time)
-- how to handle drag and drop of nzbs, in conjunction with jqgrid pagination (if at all)
-- show nzb file contents (rars/pars) inline (in jqgrid), down below (different pane using jqlayout), or in a popup thing (think lightbox)
I've explained some of the benefits before, like having a web interface such as this be easily theme-able by anyone. It however must have an intuitive interface or else why not just use one of the more basic themes already provided with sabnzbd? If it's annoying to use, then it would be pointless to spend time building it.
any info on this?pair of dimes wrote: Currently I am working with injectx (Plush layout designer) to create a new theme that will take into account some of the ideas from this Concept theme.
