Improved Editor Icons

in progress

Josh Bartolomucci

Currently, the editor icons are super tiny and not organized. Improving this would help users create and modify articles much quicker.

@Denis Omerovic This looks GREAT! I really like the expanded options that are shown on mouse click. My preference would be the second screenshot where font style, name, and size are on the second line!

Denis Omerovic

@Mamta Buch: thank you for your feedback. Yeah, I definitely think second screenshot is maybe the best solution for everyone. I really appreciate your feedbacks.

Is it a possibility that we could arrange the editor icons in our own order? From the video you shared most of the options I use are not in the "more" option which would be very time consuming.

Denis Omerovic

@Rochelle Osgar: Unfortunately that is not possible. The video I shared is just one of the options. I think screenshots I shared will suit to everybody. All icons are visible, no extra clicking. Do you think this could work for you?

Rochelle Osgar

@Denis Omerovic: I do like the layout of the screenshots. Both are good options! Thank you for working on this!

Denis Omerovic

@Rochelle Osgar: I really appreciate your feedbacks. The new toolbar should be live by Monday so I'll keep this post open for a few days until we definitely decide which version is going live.

Hi @Josh Bartolomucci @Mamta Buch @Hannah Judkins,
We are working on improving editor toolbar and we have a few solutions. I'll share some screenshots and videos with you so feel free to leave any feedbacks. We really appreciate your feedbacks.

@Denis Omerovic: I would like the code icon to remain visible if possible. Not a deal breaker, but I use it often

Josh Bartolomucci

@Denis Omerovic: This is definitely looking much better! Thank you! I highly recommend duplicating what you can from Gmail. Not to say their WYSIWYG editor is perfect, but there are more pros than cons.

Denis Omerovic

@Lynn Marino: We will leave all icons visible as you can see on screenshots above. The third version is shown in the video above, that version doesn't have code icon and many others visible until you open dropdown.

Joel Andrews

@Denis Omerovic: we use the text color and background color buttons a lot, so this change would add a lot of clicks for us. Any way to allow customization of the toolbar for individual authors?

Denis Omerovic

@Joel Andrews: Unfortunately arranging/adding icons per author is not possible. I shared some of the possibilities but I think this solution suits to everybody. All icons are there, no need for extra clicking

Joel Andrews

@Denis Omerovic: sorry, I missed your latest image. Looks great!

I wholeheartedly agree! Unfortunately my eyesight is not getting better with age!!

Icons need to be a little larger and perhaps a bit more intuitive.

Also, the "tooltip/on hover" text is covered over by my mouse, so sometimes I have to guess what the label says. Please make this more responsive so that the mouse doesn't cover button pop-up text. This image is an approximation of how the editor cursor blocks the tooltip text.
