<ul></ul><p>Adding some more context to this cryptic description... ;-)</p>
<p>Basically, the morpho main screen has 3 areas or frames - the top one where the<br />package-level metadata resides, the bottom -left, which is the "spreadsheet" <br />view of the data (entities/attributes), and the bottom right which is the<br />metadata for the entities/attributes.</p>
<p>when the main screen was originally redesigned, there was concern that the<br />multile frames would make the UI visually confusing fro some users, so it was<br />decided to show a colored border around whichever of these 3 was currently "in<br />focus" (ie being manipulated by the user), so the user could see at a glance<br />where they were working/editing etc. The other 2 "unfocused" frames would have a<br />grey border (see photoshop mockup in morpho/docs).</p>
<p>as far as i recall, the borders are in place already, and i was having some<br />trouble firing events in the code to change the color automatically - which is<br />what this bug was about. Have we had any feedback regarding the UI being too<br />complex, or do users generally understand what's going on? It may be that this<br />doesn't need doing at all?</p> Morpho - Bug #607: MetaViewer Focus Functionalityhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/607?journal_id=20712013-03-27T21:14:47ZRedmine Admin
