Updated video: now also highlights deep links (though gray, not white), bubbles are prettier and aligned better and video capture is smoother. I also changed the music to please termie.
Out of a whacky conversation on IRC comes the latest treat for Drupal 5.0.
The new administration section is nice, but it's a big adjustment for 4.7 users. It's not immediately obvious where to go to find a certain option. Wouldn't it be handy if you could find any administration page with a couple of keystrokes? Something like Apple Spotlight?
Today's usability special: a nice slice of jQuery with some search module on the side, sprinkled with menu magic and topped off with some sexy CSS. Feast your eyes on this:

Patch is available on drupal.org.

sterven,
i cant say enough how tremendous useful and powerfull this is! Really great. G R E A T
Useful in two ways
1) "wrong reason", showing of the power of the ajax lib that we have. wrong but cool and more then eyecandy.
2) "right reason", very /very/ useful. In fact I often do the same from my browser (control f in text to search for a word) but now I can do it better, faster and with more context awareness.
/me geeft natte kus op voorhoofd!
This is very nice. What's
This is very nice. What's the music accompagnying it?
In one word: hot! :)

Makes me think of spotlight
Makes me think of spotlight on mac osx. Definately looks good.
A suggestion.
Very nice!
From the movie, it looks like the Find box disappears when you aren't viewing the top-level administer page. Since one often performs a bunch of admin tasks together, I suggest leaving the Find box up on every admin* page.
nice
Well, I can only support these kind of ideas. Great work.
ass kicking eye candy
wow this kicks more ass than 2 strippers in drupal t-shirt ;)
Kick ass dude! Great stuff
Kick ass dude! Great stuff
Sweet stuff
That looks awesome Steven. Great work. I can't to check out the improvements in Drupal 5.
Great module!
Hey,
I have recently set up getJquery.org, a new site to advocate jQuery and it's of course running on Drupal 5 ;)
I'd be up for testing your module, and maybe putting something up about it on the site, possibly share your video there to help show the power of jQuery?
Feel free to email me if you would like to discuss this futher.
yay new music
bowchkka
Nice Work
This will be very useful ... I like the new music ... how about a link to the band
Band
Their official site: http://www.magnusmusic.com/
Note that there is apparently another band called Magnus (according to Last.fm).
This is amazing!
This is one of the coolest jscript I have seen in a while.
Thank you!
control-F
What makes this different from controlF ICW a properly designed interface?
Don't get me wrong, it looks great, and all, but I fail to see the added value, besides eyecandy-ishness. Usability improvements can be achieved in a much more obvious places, such as getting all these frigging contrib modules to use standards and act consistent.... :)
Wow, looks great, thanks!
Wow, looks great, thanks! (actually a feature request come true :) )
