UI Improvements

Open TommyTran732 opened this issue 1 month ago • 2 comments

As discussed on Matrix, the OpenCloud UI could be better

Lack of contrast

Multiple UI elements on OpenCloud lacks contrast. For instance:

  1. The sidebar
  • oCIS - very high contrast, clearly indicating what is being selected
Image
  • OpenCloud - low contrast. The user can still make out what is being clicked on, but it is not ideal:
Image
  1. Items
  • oCIS - much lighter gray than the background, clearly distinguishes the items and the background
Image
  • OpenCloud - the color of the items and the background is essentially the same
Image

Poor UI for secret file drop

  • oCIS - fancy logo, clear upload button:
Image
  • OpenCloud - no clear upload button, looks somewhat like a bugged out page

Hey @TommyTran732 - thank you for your feedback. It's appreciated and we'll look into how we can improve the issues you mentioned.

On a side note, statements like the OpenCloud UI is not user friendly (over-generalised, reads kind of offending) set a weird tone for wanting improvements on a software stack you may consume free of any charge. I'd appreciate a friendlier tone, or at least more precise criticism. Thank you!

Hey, I'm sorry it came across that way. I didn't mean it. I edited it a bit
