New Admin design for Zen Magick
A while ago, we showed you our new design for ZenMagick Admin
We are very happy that we received compliments as well as suggestions from you, and we have been working on a new design!!! And now it is finally done
A few things to explain about the design:
1. The Horizontal (header) navigation bar will contain only the main Sections of the admin, and these are not “drop down” links
2. The left column on the left hand side which we call the Sidebar or Vertical menu will hold the sub menu(s) of each section. This makes more sense when we have the design of other pages to show you soon, but for example when you visit the Plugins section on the Sidebar you will see the list of plugins you currently have.
We hope you find this design modern, user friendly and intuitive. My biggest thank to Mr Frog, our designer working on this design. All suggestions welcomed.
Regarding the implementation of this one, Mano (the guy behind ZM) told us he is working hard on the admin backend code to make it ready for templating etc, so hopefully we can see it soon.
