Fleetdm: Fixing Self Service Categories Icon Spacing
Hey guys! We've got a bit of a visual hiccup in Fleetdm that we need to iron out. It's all about the spacing of those self-service category icons, and while it's not a showstopper, we want everything looking spick-and-span. Let's dive into the details and see what's up!
The Issue: Icon Spacing Gone Awry
In the newer version of Fleet (4.77.0), some users have noticed that the spacing between the icons in the self-service categories section isn't quite right. To really understand the issue, let's break it down. In version 4.76.0, the icons had a nice, even spacing that made everything look clean and organized. But, when we rolled out 4.77.0, things got a little jumbled. The icons appear more spread out, which throws off the visual balance. We want our interface to be as user-friendly as possible, so this is something we definitely want to address.
This might seem like a small detail, but in the world of user experience, these little things can make a big difference. Consistent spacing and layout help users quickly scan and find what they need. When elements are out of alignment or oddly spaced, it can create a sense of visual clutter and make the interface feel less polished. Our goal is to provide a seamless and intuitive experience, so getting this spacing right is crucial. We believe that a well-organized interface not only looks better but also helps users navigate more efficiently and feel more comfortable using the platform. So, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what’s causing this issue and how we plan to fix it. This kind of attention to detail ensures that Fleetdm remains a top-notch tool for our users. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us continually improve the platform.
Visual Comparison: 4.76.0 vs 4.77.0
Let's get visual, guys! Here’s a side-by-side comparison to really highlight the change. It's one thing to describe the issue, but seeing it makes it crystal clear.
4.76.0: The Good Old Days
Ah, 4.76.0 – a time of perfectly spaced icons! As you can see, the icons are neatly arranged with consistent gaps, making it easy on the eyes. Everything feels balanced and in its right place. This is the gold standard we’re aiming for, where the interface feels intuitive and user-friendly. The visual harmony in this version is what we strive for in all our updates, ensuring that users have a smooth and pleasant experience.
4.77.0: The Spacing Oops
Now, in 4.77.0, the spacing has gone a bit wonky. The icons are more spread out, and it just doesn't look as clean or professional. It's these small visual inconsistencies that can sometimes detract from the overall user experience. Our goal is to make sure every element of Fleetdm feels polished and intentional, so addressing this spacing issue is a priority. We want to ensure that the interface not only functions perfectly but also looks aesthetically pleasing, so users can navigate with ease and confidence.
