Not planned Please add a bottom border to the editor toolbar

[AndyB]

The current editor toolbar looks incomplete because it lacks a bottom border. The user is not sure where the toolbar stops and where to click to begin typing.

Current design


Example from Froala which has a bottom border

Agree with that one. It actually bothers me too.

I don't use the default theme (@ThemeHouse's UI.X has this bottom border), but yes, I can see how this would be annoying for sure.

They updated their styles to 2.2?

Yes, I recently did an update for their UI.X style to bring it up to 2.2

I agree that a tool-bar bottom border is needed as a visual cue.

 

[beerForo]

I like it. This is one of those give it time and you won't even notice things.

 

[djbaxter]

I also agree. It looks unfinished and unprofessional to me.

 

[BassMan]

I still do notice. Maybe I need to give it more time - or extra.less template

 

[CivilWarTalk]

Ah, a rare case where "more is more" !!!

 

[Mendalla]

I am cool with the design as is but can see the concern and it might be something I will hear about from my users once they get a look at 2.2

 

[PumpinIron]

The more I see it, the more I don't like it. I see the look that you guys were going for (clean and minimalist), but my eye still wants a border.

Or at least an option to easily add a border

 

[Gene Steinberg]

I'm with you, Andy, on this.

Also, I'd like to see the toolbar auto expand the "More options" to the main toolbar on wider displays. Otherwise, it just adds an extra step.

I'm very much into simpler is better.

Agreed! This should be addressed from a user experience stand point

 

[Gio~Logist]

There's a ton of things that can be done to improve the design, but some of these choices will (understandably) be marked as arbitrary.

In the meantime, a simple css tweak solves the problem. Example on how to apply it to quick reply:

.fr-box.fr-basic .fr-toolbar.fr-top {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ebebeb;
}

I also agree, it needs a bottom border.

 

[Harvey]

Weird. I am seeing it. Default theme, but lots of color changes. I hit like because that would bother me too.

 

[BassMan]

This is meant for XF 2.2 editor.

 

[Harvey]

This is meant for XF 2.2 editor.

Apologies.

 

[DigNap15]

Yes I think it needs a bottom line bar as well, or for the light blue background to be a bit darker.
