First Mockup of New Flux Operations Console
Here are two color variations on the same mockup for the new Flux Operations Console.
Check out the engines and agents status bars near the top. They give a succinct, attractive view of the health of the cluster.
The brown “suede” theme and the blue theme will be available for use in the Operations Console. You’ll be able to select a theme or upload your own.
Which theme should we use as the default? Suede or blue? Leave a comment!
I like both themes, but think the brown “suede” is a good choice for the default.
I think that mission-critical consoles like this should take into consideration the output of colour-contrast analyzers. Information should be easy to pick out.
Some guidelines like this can be useful (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/)
Hi Mohan,
Absolutely. During the mockup process, I’ve focused on making it easy to find the important information. I’ve also focused on making sure the less important information does not draw your eye away from the main page items.
For example, in the next Operations Console mockup that I’m about to post, the area in the upper right-hand corner (login info, etc) is de-emphasized so users can focus on the main thing, which is the jobs listed in the table.
Thanks for the colour-contrast link. I’ll check it out.
Kind regards,
David
