Open ERP

Our project development team lead, Rowel recently gave an internal presentation on the different iterations the ComUnion user interface went through before settling on the final design.

In terms of UI design, one of the major goals was to make the interface elements consistent across all components. A lot of the icons and widgets are actually shared across many of the modules so navigating from one component to another presents users with a consistent experience. We used the excellent Flexigrid Jquery plugin (the developer Paulo and maintainer Lovely, are actually a core contributors to ComUnion--thanks Paulo and Lovely!!!) for data presentation to the user.

Here for posterity, are the UI design iterations. Im posting it here so the community can give feedback:

Iteration 1: Icon navigation and sliding panels

Iteration 2: Higher contrast

Iteration 3: White

Iteration 4: Tabs on top, orange color

Iteration 5: Cleaner interface, with logos
