[Vtigercrm-developers] LANCER : Home page UI - Revised

[Brian Devendorf]

Saint,

A couple of comments:

The new UI looks amazing. it really is slick, and I can't wait for it  
to be released. :)

The Dashboard looks like a website within a website. It doesn't  
appear to be well integrated into vtiger. My main concern is the  
static size of the iframe (not sure that's what it is, just what it  
looks like). This means having a larger display is not an advantage.  
Plus, there's a lot of wasted space on the screen (if you make you  
browser window larger). I hope that this is adjusted for the final  
release. It also appears that the future At a Glance may have the  
same issue.

I really like the new At a Glance... I still think vtiger needs a  
home page that can be customized with daily use information. A sort  
of, "What am I doing today? view". I think of activities, meetings,  
open tickets, email, calendar... the first things I look at every  
day. I'd like to have a place I can quickly see all of them.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Brian
