[CROSS-POST] does the language sw[itcher really need that much screen real estate?
Hi, The language switcher takes up a lot of space at the bottom. it also had issues of being not always visible (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11057). Is there a specific design / UX issue (that I may be unaware of) why it is not implemented as a simple drop down from the masthead toolbar? thanks :) -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

There is now a new patch which positions the lang chooser at the masthead. Users' are being requested to offer their inputs whether: a) we stick to the way it is currently (at the bottom of the page and with UX issues unless the patch from 11057 is applied) (Reference - http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11057) OR b) we switch to the new position on the masthead using the patch from 14252?

I like the new position for Languages too. But it gets kind of crowdy on that top bar (when the user is logged in and has a longer name..) Imo Languages has more rights to be there than e.g. Search history. Could we move Search history now to the bar with Advanced Search and Authority Search? Could we also combine "Welcome, Marcel.." and Logout ? Only Show the name and provide a dropdown with User options and Logout ? ________________________________ Van: koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org [koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha-community.org] namens Irma Birchall [irma@calyx.net.au] Verzonden: zondag 24 mei 2015 17:40 Aan: Indranil Das Gupta CC: koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org; koha Onderwerp: Re: [Koha-devel] [CROSS-POST] does the language sw[itcher really need that much screen real estate?
