@jnptk changelog entry pls.

@davisagli @sneridagh I asked @jnptk to record a screencast for the release of Plone 6.2. I noticed the implementation of the table is off with our lo-fi prototypes. Therefore I asked Jonas to make those amendments.

[tisto]

Looks a lot better! Let's merge and release asap.

[davisagli]

Asking @sneridagh to review since he did the first pass on these table styles. It makes sense to me.

[sneridagh]

@tisto @jnptk @davisagli in which sense this is better? I have a hard time trying to figure out which row corresponds to what with this distance...

[sneridagh]

@tisto @jnptk @davisagli to be fair, the whole concept of control panels need a profound review... I just checked and every one of them uses different styles, wrappers, etc... Let alone to know if their settings make sense or have any effect on Volto. It's a complete mess.

[davisagli]

@sneridagh True. It's always hard to find time to prioritize improving the UX of the control panels compared to the rest of the CMSUI. Maybe we could come up with a representative high-fi design of one control panel, a list of guidelines for how they should be, and then bring up making them more consistent as a possible work area for the Beethoven Sprint. I think one reason it's been hard to make progress on them is that we don't have a clear goal.

[tisto]

@sneridagh I agree and we can discuss how to do a full overhaul of the control panels in the future.

However, we have a low-fi prototype for control panels with the table configuration that is reflected in this PR. This low-fi prototype uses a full-width table like all the other control panels use. For both consistency and UX reasons I would like to merge this PR. Otherwise we have a wild mixture of tables.

So let's please merge and release this PR so that we can make a screencast for the upcoming Plone 6.2 release and move on.

@davisagli we have a bunch of lo-fi designs for control panels ATM. I would say for the control panels we do not need a hi-fi design. However, we would be willing to sponsor those efforts if necessary. Any hi-fi design will be based on a low-fi prototype though. Therefore the configuration of the table is not going to change. Good UX means consistency. Tables with different widths for every control panel are not consistent.

[davisagli]

@tisto Personally I agree with you, but I thought Victor's concern (not being able to see clearly which row a number is in) was also valid. I suggest we merge this, but also ask a designer for input on this particular question.

[tisto]

@davisagli @sneridagh sure. I am not saying that the solution we have right now is perfect. As said, I am open to re-visit this at Beethoven sprint and further improve things. I agree with @sneridagh that we need a full overhaul of the control panels, both technically as well as UX/UI wise.
