UI Refresh & Enhancements
As we all know, the UI in many places need to refresh and consistent. One of the main UI issues that I notice using bootstrap colors extensively, while some colors are not make sense to the actions.
I can take the initiative an start prettify the UI in one page, then we can apply these changes after we approve it
Just a thought, we should find a way to create reusable components for each of these button. This way we have one reusable component for all these actions. Component view or a shape.
It could be doable if we introduce OC.UI that contains all the predefine components that could be reused and override. Believe it or not I was thinking in the past about UI project that remove the dependency from bootstrap or any other UI framework. May be one day this could be happen even as a community project
This could be done progressively. We can create components project and slowly shift things into common components
I just created a quick prototype something similar to Azure DevOps dropdown menu. The final output make a lot of room, which makes the list item clear and clean

@hishamco although this look nice, it requires 2 click to get to the common functions. IMO, I think the "View" and "Edit" should be kept as buttons.
Either way, this should be constant across the entire admin.
I don't think we need the buttons and random colors anymore ;) regarding the clicks that how it works ;)
You can check Azure DevOps or GitHub to see it in action, I will submit a PR soon
Either way, this should be constant across the entire admin.
Sure
Is it about creating reusable components (not a fan) or refreshing some items that could be made better (always good).
This about refreshing some items. But still I'm planning about creating a resuable components as a separated project, probably OSS if there's no resources interested on this
