| AW: [riena-dev] Navigation Tree Look and Feel |
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. The white border is intended. Archetype for the Riena was the Look&Feel of our Swing applications/frameworks (spirit and SCP) and this LnF has a white border around every module. That Look&Feel was implemented according to the specification of a user interface designer. But I think also that some details of the Riena Look&Feel must be discussed in the future. (For example I do not really like the minimized, maximized and close icons.) At the moment it is the goal that it is possible to customize the Look&Feel (primary of the navigation). When the rendering has a level that everything works fine, we should think about the fineness. Also a user interface designer should revalue the Riena Look&Feel. I will collect every input according the Riena Look&Feel and in some weeks we can discuss about the suggestions. So please send your suggestions to the Riena Developers list. However I'm changing the alternative Look&Feel, so that there isn't a white border around the modules. I'm using another renderer for the modules (ExampleModuleGroupRenderer). I have attached a screen shot.

I don't know about you, but personally I dislike this because it makes the UI look "cluttered" (in German I would say: unruhig). As a counterexample see the title-bar of the "Shared View Demo" on the right, that does *not* have the white border. I like that much better. Food for thought. Kind regards, Elias. PS: This reminds my a bit of a discussion about borders in Eclipse I read some time ago: http://www.jroller.com/eu/entry/groups_and_borders
