UI Improvements

[dgdavid]

Context

Going through the example included in SLES (see #115)

Problems

• Lack of paddings and margins (among other styles) in the steps column fixed, see UI Improvements #117 (comment)

  Click to show/hide outdated content

  Probably related to theming, as it only happens in SLE. In openSUSE it looks good, more polished.

• The sidebar for steps couldn't be shrink after going next

  This is a weird corner case, but if the user changes the space used by the left sidebar in the Language and keyboard layout step, it cannot be shrink later in next clients/dialogs.

• The banner cannot be placed at the very top. Instead, it is placed at the top of right side

   <!-- Configuration of the installation/firstboot layout -->
   <installation_layout>
   	<mode>steps</mode>
   	<banner config:type="boolean">true</banner>
   </installation_layout>

  

• Some clients (for example, timezone) hide the steps

  Timezone client	Registration client

• Not unified abort message

  Aborting from language and keyboard client	Aborting from Welcome client

Suggested solutions / Ideas

• Give some love to the steps styles see UI Improvements #117 (comment)
• Fix the resizable behavior of the left panel, if possible
• Allow to put the banner at the very top, using the full width
• Use the same abort message at any point.
• Allow to customize the abort message, as is already possible with the welcome and finish messages.

The abort messages are mostly incorrect anyway as the notable difference compared to an installation is that each client applies its changes immediately when it's done compared to delaying all changes until after the summary screen.

It's not so much an 'abort' as rather a 'skip remaining steps'.

On a related note: the discussed clickable config-screen would (IMHO) do a better job here. But that's very much futuristic.

That has been fixed with changes in SLE theming. See yast/yast-theme@0f07143 and yast/yast-theme@58773f9

The steps looks much better now:
