Summary
In 171205 we present a completely new header and a new send modal in addition to a few bug fixes. We also part company with the left side panel. While some really liked the side panel, it contained elements that were rarely accessed by less technical users. It also encroached on valuable horizontal space needed for displaying columnar data.
New
The new header prominently displays icons for Dashboard, Exchange and Explore. We also added the new Send (beta) menu here for now.
The right dropdown menu includes a login/logout toggle at the top followed by:
- Send
- Deposit
- Withdraw
- Settings
- Help
Next, we have grouped the more administrative items including:
- Voting
- Assets
- Signed Messages
- Membership stats
- Vesting Balances
- Whitelist
- Permissions
Lastly, we have included a link to Accounts with Favorite (starred) accounts at the bottom.
We have also made some changes to the Follow pattern. There have been several requests for an address book or contacts. Since the Follow feature is essentially another name for Contacts, we renamed it and also split out the Accounts are to:
- Accounts
- Contacts
An account is defined by any account where you hold the keys. A contact is defined by anypne you add to your contacts or anyone who you followed in the past. There are several ways to add contacts. These methods replace the "Follow" button previously present on the left panel.
From the new Send Modal
From Explore -> Accounts listing
The new Send Modal is ready. We still have some work to do on Proposed Transactions and for this reason, we left the existing Send intact and accessible from the right menu.
