Ergonomy Improvement

We continue our ergonomy improvement process. Here are the latest news:

We have a completly reviewed our wizards to help users to configure their OpenERP system. We have wizards for all profiles: association mgt, auction houses, crm only, accounting company, services mgt, manufacturing industries. Here are two screenshots:


After the new date widget, released a few days ago, we implemented a new widget in the GTK and Web application: progressbar. They are available in form and in tree views. Here is how it looks like in sale orders list.



We put Question Mark at the left of labels for fields that have a tooltip.

We made some layout modifications in GTK:

1. We moved the tab position of all notebooks to top by default in the GTK application. The idea is to be compliant with the web client and allow a better to rendering of views where you put some data above the notebook, see attachment for example of the new product form.
2. Grey background for toolbar to emphasize it
3. Separator and O2M titles in Bold

We are reviewing all views according to the one we made with products, bellow. Note that with the new attrs feature, all fields related to Weights are readonly because we selected a product of type service. (it changes dynamicly if you change the type of the product).



We are looking for ideas to improve the current internal request system of OpenERP. Please fill in a blueprint on launchpad if you have good suggestions. Any other suggestion is welcome too :)

What are the arguments against dynamically hiding (invisible) these fields?

IMHO we should not show irrelevant fields at all.
