We’re happy with how we can open a block in a dialog from anywhere in the UI, but there were some drawbacks.
Most notably, dialogs always used the (more extensive) settings component.
To fix this, we reworked how widgets are rendered. Most widgets can now easily toggle between simple and full modes, both when displayed on a dashboard, and in a dialog.
Toolbar buttons have been tweaked to make accessing settings smoother.
In the coming weeks, we will be reviewing all widgets.
- The basic view is for day-to-day use: settings and values that you want to see during a brew day.
- The full view is for configuration: setting up and tuning your system.
While we were at it, we also improved the Spark service page. The index and the widgets now scroll independently.
When selecting a widget in the index, the displayed widget will automatically scroll in view.
