Describe your bug or feature request.

In my personal opinion the commerce overview on /admin/commerce needs some love.

Commerce page

TL;DR all information is useful but could be presented better so it signals more quality (Commerce is a quality solution).

Here is a list of things that I would like to improve:

  • Active state of button for example today: not accessible / readable at the moment
  • Get the most out of Drupal Commerce block: should stand out but now it just collides with the existing style (for example no border radius). Will propose some improvements for this one where the goal is to standout but also blend in the current style of the page.
  • Compare to prior period should have a white background to be consistent, the icon positioning can be improved. The best selling products overview also needs to become consistent (now has a shadow that is used nowhere else)

Documenting now so I won't forget, will try to suggest some improvements soon.

Here is a concept page that breathes the quality of Commerce more. It's based on the new core admin theme and keeps all current information, only presented differently.

But you know what they say: one man's meat is another man's poison.

I'd like to hear some thoughts or feedback before I start working on an MR.

Concept overview

Note: "Releases" is a custom entry on this custom project of mine that I used to create a mock-up / proof of concept on. You can ignore this entry.

Hm, why is that a bug report though? Shouldn't that be a feature request?

Yes that might be a better qualification.

In my mind it started as a bug as I noticed the active state first (not readable) and then it grew to the whole page.

Feature or feedback/advice request it is!

I like your positive energy here, f0ns.

On Drupal.org, it’s quite common to get bureaucratic replies that come with no empathy or encouragement. I’m not sure whether that’s right or wrong, but that’s how it is.

Speaking as someone who has used Drupal Commerce for years with my BeeHotel, I really want to encourage you.

Commerce—just like Drupal—isn’t much to look at, but it’s extremely powerful to use. Your UI suggestions are genuinely valuable to me.

Thumbs up for you.

@f0ns: I actually wanted to circle back to this at later point. Thank's al lot for working on this, It looks really nice!
@afagioli: You're right, whenever I replied I was multitasking and once again was supposed to come back to his.

@f0ns: I apologize if that sounded like a bureautraic reply :).
I pinged our internal frontend developer to have a look earlier at this.
