Universal "app context" top bar

[dragotin]

when opening a file in a viewer or editor in ownCloud web, it should display an area in the top bar that shows the file name, a "three dot" menu offering actions of the editor, and possibly a close button that closes the editor.

The idea is to integrate that into the topmost darkblue bar of oC Web to not waste vertical space for that.

CERN has a prototype implementation that should be integrated into the product.

This is our prototype: cernbox@2f1d8a4

In practice, we don't use it (we have a not so pretty workaround) because we didn't have a way to import some missing components (like the context actions), into our own external applications.

Design polishing proposal

• less dominant
• no "Tab" mimic, because it is not a tab (no toggle with other tabs possible)
• more aligned with the users visual memory

any objections?

I like it, but maybe it's too understated? Could we put a very light background around it? (not necessarily looking like a browser tab, but nowadays tabs have different visual styles, so I'm not sure what we can do to avoid it)

[elizavetaRa]

@tbsbdr I suggest the configurable app context bar background, you can leave it unset, we'd like to have it a little different from the background color. We'll try to implement towards this idea.
Also configurable setting for file icon as a suggestion. We reuse oc-resource where it's given by default

• jup, configurable background is a good idea 👍
• if the configurable app-icon is < 60 mins effort I'd go with it @pascalwengerter

Default impression for the product should be a discreet top-bar, i.e. default: no tab-style, no icon.
