Tweak Simple mode by adding required and current OS

[natewalck]

This does a few things:

• Add Required and Current OS versions
• Tweak weights/titles

Also I propose making Deferral count hidden by default in Simple mode, but with an option to enable it. The thought process is one can use Simple mode for the first N days of nudging and only switch to full mode if people are ignoring it.

Here is what it looks like with deferralCount:

And without:

It looks a lot cleaner without the deferral count, so the option to disable it would be very good to have (or even disable by default, enable by option, which is my preference).

Can you switch to the non-debug xcworkspace and take screenshots of just simple mode?

My first inclination is to say it's busy, but I think it's because both UIs are rendering in your example.

Here is everything enabled:

Here is without Deferred count:

I think in Simple mode, it might even be worth hiding "Days remaining" by default like so:

I don't use simple mode, so would like anyone who is to chime in on these changes as it does remove UX.

[erikng]

why did you move to title3? That may be why I dislike the change

also see my comment on standard mode

[erikng]

IMO should be title2 to stay consistent with the other textfields. Standard mode keeps the same font weight for all of these UI fields

[natewalck]

In Simple mode, title2 looks a little big, but maybe it's fine?. Here is title2 vs title3 for all of them:

title2:

title3:

This should be ready for review again.

We only use Simple Mode in our environment, and we like the changes Nate is proposing.
It would be great to have the options to show/hide "Days remaining to update", "Require OS Version" & "Current OS Version" if possible for better control/customization.

+1 to @macbm's comments

This is a good change for our use of simple mode. Presently we overload the "More Info" button to further inform users, but that isn't device-state specific. This strikes a good balance and will probably have a positive impact on user touchpoints. As it is now, we would use this.

I have an aesthetic nitpick:

• Is a bit busy
• the mismatch between bold/not bold for day/deferral values & OS version values contributes to this
• three buttons each of their own style and alignment contributes to this

Would perhaps a popover view allow displaying further information in simple mode more elegantly? Perhaps an option for configuring More Info in lieu of setting an aboutUpdateURL - or with this URL configuring a button inside the popover instead.

Here is the default Simple UI as of the latest commit:

We discussed this in Slack a little and for now we are going to try to settle on a standard simple mode UI that has only actionable information for the end user. In this case, its the required version of macOS and how many days they have left to update. The other information is a kind of noise by itself and having all 4 makes Simple mode not so simple.

I'm proposing the current diff is the new default and then we can talk about making them a preference or something like that.

For bonus points, added the device info button to simple mode:

[natewalck]

Completely and utterly changed my mind here about showing required OS version. People have no clue what they are on or what is required. Maybe this can be added to the ? long term for inquisitive minds, but for 98% of everyone it is not useful information as we are only showing this screen if they are indeed out of date.

Here is the latest:

PS: Aligning stuff sucks. The more info button keeps moving 🙄

[erikng]

I like this.

[natewalck]

Need review on this.

[natewalck]

Alright, this is rebased to Development and I confirmed it ran:

[erikng]

Nit but all of the keys are alphabetical before this change. Can you move it down to L370?

[natewalck]

I think we are good now at least on Big Sur.

[natewalck]

Alright, by taking the ? button out of the centered vstack, we can avoid the showDeferralCount being enabled/disabled impacting the vertical spacing on the ?. This allows us to tweak the location of the ? independently of the other VStacks.

[natewalck]

I did just notice the button location changes when deferral count is enable or disabled -_- Guess I'll figure that out now.

[natewalck]

This is really dumb, but it works :D Button doesn't move at all (I tried various other combinations of Spacer() and padding, but nothing worked quite right).
