Hi all, I've been reworking the main manager view in virt-manager. You can check out a screenshot here: http://fedorapeople.org/~crobinso/virt-manager/vmm-manager-1-overview.png The code can be cloned from here: http://fedorapeople.org/~crobinso/virt-manager/virt-manager.manager_ui I've changed the following pieces: - Lower button bar is now a toolbar at the top of the window. I think this is obvious: a toolbar at the top is much more in line with existing UI convention, and is more intuitive. - Dropped the 'View: Active/Inactive' combo box. I don't think anybody was using this option, and it was only taking up space. - Dropped all columns except Name, Status, and Stats. Columns like vcpus and memory progress bar really added no value. Most of these columns were for stats reporting which, while useful, would largely balloon the list (if enabled) to the point of uselessness. If we want good stats comparison, we should have an entire separate screen for this, which could provide many more comparison metrics. - Allow changing what the single graph column is measuring: cpu, disk, or network. This way users can still have an at a glance comparison of the metric of their choice. Screenshot: http://fedorapeople.org/~crobinso/virt-manager/vmm-manager-1-graphs.png - Removed options to hide/view columns. Since we only have 3 columns now and have trimmed all the fat, leave them on all the time. These are basically the functional changes: I should be posting some more changes soon to glitz this up (hopefully including prettier graph renderers). Questions or comments appreciated.
