== Mockups ===== mconnor === [http://steelgryphon.com/firefox2/bmo/Bugzilla_bug4.html This mockup] was originally done prior to the redesign.Linked here for easy reference. === Dolske (mockup2) === I've created [http://people.mozilla.com/~dolske/bugzilla/mockup2.html another mockup], based off the redesign, to try out some more/revised ideas...* Visual noise from form controls is again reduced (as the [http://people.mozilla.com/~dolske/bugzilla/mockup1.html previous mockup] tried), but instead of using a zillion "(edit)" links the fields are directly editable. Thanks to Jesse for suggesting styling the controls.* The field labels were becoming too visually prominent. Changed weight and color to not draw attention away from the bug data. I also undid mconnor's left-alignment, as that was also seemed to call attention to them (ie, it almost looked like a 4-columns instead of just 2).* Stole the header from mozilla.com, just to try out something different. The footer also changed, but there's functionality missing. * Removed the clump of radio-button actions that were underneath the comment box. Instead, these modifications should be done direction upon the fields themselves. Need to do some more work to make sure those operations are still easy to do, but hey it's just a mockup. :-)* Table widths are dynamic now, try changing the width of the window.* Not shown: fields that are modified should change their background color to a light-red to indicate the modification.
* In addition to other comments against it, it actually gives me '''less''' space for the keyword/whiteboard/URL fields!
==== Dolske (mockup1) ====
I had a few more ideas on streamlining things, and did a [http://people.mozilla.com/~dolske/bugzilla/ mockup1.html rough mockup] to see how well they work. It needs fine-tuning, ignore any fixable rough edges.
* The outlines and icons of form controls add a *lot* of visual complexity to the page. The mockup replaces almost all the HTML controls with just plain text (but you can reactivate the controls by clicking "edit"). This really improves readability, but the obvious cost is having to click "edit" to update fields is annoying. This needs improved.
