[Design] [cosmo] Dashboard updates to the web UI

[Mimi Yin]

Hey Priss,

I did a pass with the clear button style...(I'm wondering if it looks  
disabled the way the selected column header looks disabled? Mostly  
because the buttons are on a white background? I can try something in  
between the clear and the dark grey.)

http://wiki.osafoundation.org/Journal/ 
CosmoPreviewStyleguideRevisited#ClearButtons

Open Issues
+ RE: 'Make-the-suggested-option-blue'. Does that convention apply to  
the text or the button? Or in our case, would it be apply the grey to  
the 'suggested option'?

+ We should also discuss the type treatment for the product name.  
Agree on a font and layout style that will work on the wiki, landing  
page and desktop splashscreen.

+ Header style

+ Subscribe with... pulldown. Should it say Subscribe with Chandler  
Desktop? Because not all options in that pulldown are subscription  
options? There are also the download .ics file options?

+ Visual syntax, font sizes and font colors.

+ Language
- Creating / Adding new items to the collection.
- Username versus ID

+ Capitalization scheme
- Attribute names, "Username" versus "User Name" versus "User name"  
versus "username"

+ First order UI elements: What needs to pop, etc... Proposed scheme:
- Stuff users need to see immediately, whether or not they're looking
- Stuff users need to be find easily when looking for them
- Stuff users can find on their own time

Thx! Mimi :o)
