Quick notes about migration to PF6

[mvollmer]

I needed a place to write down some shareable notes with screenshots.

Personal opinions.

• Feels modern, don't mind the super round corners, actually. PF5 looks old to me already.

• But there seems to be less contrast, not a fan.

Cockpit migration

• Cockpit still feels "sloppy".

• Things are not aligned and move around when clicked.

• "Random" horizontal lines that don't have a clear purpose.

• They are not even all the same length.

• Would be e bit embarassing to release it now.

Examples

Random lines of unequal length:

Things not being aligned and moving around:

Distracting tables

(I find the above hard to parse visually... almost like there are unbalanced parentheseses...)

Just some thoughts

• Cockpit still feels "sloppy".

I don't get what you mean. Like feels unpolished?

• Things are not aligned and move around when clicked.

Alignment stuff is mostly on our end, we'll work through them with time. With moving around you mean their animations aren't great?

• "Random" horizontal lines that don't have a clear purpose.

I've seen it with tables but not much else

• They are not even all the same length.

That one is due to being in a hidden card with no body I think

• Would be e bit embarassing to release it now.

I see the point but we should still release soon and improve over time, it would be better for getting features and bugfixes out than polishing the UI any longer

Yes. Maybe like a document made with MS Word by your neighbor and stuck to a tree as compared to the professionally typeset menu of a nice restaurant. :-) Just to exaggerate way too much.

But we have a lot of tables...
