Row highlighting in tables and trees

[scullion]

Hi there,

A suggestion towards better usability: it would be nice to have row highlighting in tables and trees in backend (section "Pages", for example). Without such feature, clicking the right icon on the right-hand side of the page requires some aiming.

"Pages" display each page as a table. The tables, which appear as rows, are already highlighted grey with a white divider between each row.

I suppose you could modify /admin/pages/index.php to include an even/odd row color if it's that important to you. It might be easier just to increase the padding (the white divider) of each table so that there is a bigger gap between each row.

I actually meant dynamic row highlighting, i.e. responding to onMouseOver events. Sorry, I should have put myself clearer.

As for modifying the system... Well, I'm aware of this possibility, of course, but I was not asking for a tip where to hack in.  If I understood it right, this forum branch was created for posting suggestions for future versions, right? That's what I did.

Hello,

well for a WB 2.7 we plan to add some new features to the WB backend.
One will be a backend.css file to allow customizing without touchting core files.

If you are interested in taking an active part of the WB 2.7 development, please send a PM to ruebenwurzl or myself.

Regards Christian

If I understand what you want, you can currently achieve this by simply adding a line to the CSS:
.pages_list tr:hover{background:#aaaaaa;}

I already did that, thanks, it works fine (I used #E0E0FF color). Would be nice if this little thing became default in the next release.
