    Rounded corners please

    This application works simply great!! Rounded corners would make it look even better - forms, form fields, boxes, buttons, calendars, popups, modals, panels, etc. Border-Radius no more than 5 pixels.

    2. How does Espo compare with Sugar, Suite, Zoho and Zurmo?

    Keep up the good work.

    TIA

    Rounded corners are old fashioned

    Espo has less features than these crms at this moment http://www.espocrm.com/features/
    But has better codebase and works faster.

    If you find EspoCRM good, we would greatly appreciate if you could give the project a star on GitHub. We believe our work truly deserves more recognition. Thanks.

      Yes, Espo works faster.

      Is there a roadmap for Espo?

      Which CSS file do I edit to customize the UI?

          Yes, great tool. My +1 votes:
          • Reports (TBD)

          Marketing Automation
          • Campaigns (TBD)
          • Target Lists (TBD)
          • Mass Email (TBD)

          For reports, I am currently using these 2 queries:
          Followed Contacts
          SELECT A.name, A.type, A.industry, A.billing_address_country,
          C.first_name, C.last_name, C.description
          from Account A, Contact C
          where C.account_id = A.id and
          C.id in (select entity_id from subscription where entity_type = 'Contact')
          order by A.name, C.last_name
          Tasks on Contacts
          SELECT A.name, A.type, A.industry, A.billing_address_country, C.first_name, C.last_name, C.description,
          T.name, T.description, T.priority, T.date_start, T.status
          from Account A, Contact C, Task T
          where C.account_id = A.id
          and C.id = T.parent_id
          and T.parent_type = 'Contact'
          order by T.priority, T.date_start, A.name, C.last_name
          Not saying these queries are optimized. This is the kind of reports I will consult regularly.

          Regards.

            I thought rounded corners are contemporary/polished/soft and square corners are retro/coarse/ugly. iOS' UI is a hit for more than a reason and rounded corners is one of them. Please make rounded corners configurable so the users could choose to render rounded corners if they want to. Since this is going to be changes to just a few CSS classes, you could include an additional CSS file (with the rounded corners CSS classes) if the users chose rounded corners in their preferences. I guess many users would love to have that kind of control and many would prefer rounded corners in their settings.
            • For forms, boxes, calendars, popups, modals, panels, etc - apply Border-Radius: 5px.
            • For buttons, fields - apply border-radius: 4px.

            This is a minor change that would have many thumbs-ups:
            • One Setting value in the database
            • One additional CSS file with rounded corner classes
            • One Header file to include the new CSS file conditionally
            • Viola!!

            What do you think?

            Cheers!

              We won't make rounded cornerts this until we implement Themes support. You can include custom CSS manually. Just add it to mail.html

                Hi, The current default theme is more than pretty and beautiful - there is nothing wrong with it and I can't get enough of it. There is no need for any additional themes. I guess that time and effort should be focussed on incorporating more modules/features into the app. I suggested rounded corners because it is a very, very minor change with hardly 10 CSS classes and a preference setting that would make the UI contemporary, polished and beautiful.

                I've modified the CSS classes but could not apply the rounded corner CSS to Invalid Email/Opted Out button group on Contact form without affecting other buttons (the last child should have the right-most corners rounded). These buttons need to have similar CSS applied as it is done for other button groups. Sending you the CSS in PM.

                There are less people who love Windows 8 UI than who those hate iOS' UI

                  Hi Yuri, EspoCRM has a kick-ass UI already and doesn't need any themes. If you just implement the rounded corners with box shadows, etc (see them on dropdown menus, panels, modals, buttons, fields, etc using the CSS I sent you), it would look very modern, polished, more beautiful and cool. All you have to do is implement a preference setting for rounded corners and include my CSS conditionally as an additional CSS or dynamic CSS inside index.php's header. Or just make rounded corners CSS the default - no need for a new preference setting.

                  HTH

                    My vision is to keep it consistent. Don't like an idea of rounded corners switcher. This is kind of 'bells and whistles'

                      There's no need for rounded corners. Metro-style is cool. )

                        I just wanted to share the screenshots of my work. No hard feelings if you do not implement the CSS as I have it working anyway. Rounded corners, box-shadows, porcelain effect for fields, etc.

                        Cheers!
