Hello / Hola,<br>
<br>
As some of you know I started working with Activity Central last week,<br>
as an Activity Developer.<br>
My tasks will be to improve our Activities and also I consider, make<br>
life easier for activity developers.<br>
<br>
I'm looking forward to sharing more of what we do and have already<br>
signed up with the Activities Team.<br>
<br>
My first contribution is to update the toolbars in several activities.<br>
In the process I've run into some design decisions. In particular, with<br>
activities with few actions, updating the toolbar concealed the actions<br>
behind a ToolbarButton (see Get Books, for example). This did not seem<br>
right, so I took the liberty of moving main actions to the main toolbar.<br>

/"Make process of switching between toolbars more clear, use tool<br>

Hi Sebastian,<br>
<br>
thanks for your work!<br>
<br>
I remember that we had defined some guidelines when using the new toolbars.<br>
<br>
So if I remember correctly (Gary feel free to correct me) we agreed that for simple activities the options can be moved to the main toolbar. Some things should be considered here (can be seen in the screenshot attached and the code is in [1]):<br>
<br>
- left should be the activity icon with the name in the palette<br>
- then the other options (title, sharing, keep) left aligned<br>
- the sharing button is made insensitive (but shown) if sharing is not implemented (self.max_participants = 1)<br>
<br>
I think we have not writing those guidelines down yet ([2] does not say anything about it and as well I could not find that info in any design page). Gary, what would be the best place to keep this info?<br>
<br>
Maybe we want to track the work (moving all the activities to the new toolbar) as well in a wiki page.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Simon<br>
