Ckeditor5: Block toolbar UI improvements

Created on 22 May 2018  路  9Comments  路  Source: ckeditor/ckeditor5

Follow-up of https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-ui/pull/392.

paragrah-too-strong

I wanted to report that paragraph is allways "on". Then I realised that it is only selected. However, I asked one more person "what is wrong with this panel" and he also said that paragraph is "on". We need a lighter style for focused items.

I want to make this ticket more generric to gather whole feedback about the UI of block toolbar in CKE 5.

BTW, @oleq, I miss your new heading icons.

Me too! Haven't got enough time to finish them, though.

I am not sure about serif pilcrow icon. We changed it to the simpler one in Letters some time ago since the whole UI is simple. The rest :+1:.

馃憤 For the pilcrow icon. Stylish and smooooth ;>

馃憤 For p/h1/h2/h3. Much better weight and alignment.

馃憤 For focus. I love the transitions.

More visible focus than ATM 馃憤 馃憤 馃憤 TBH, to our "flat & simple" UI this pilcrow icon is too stylish.

Visually the serif icon looks better but it doesn't fit the rest of the toolbar, so I am torn. I also like a bigger padding - more space for clicking the button. Lastly, I wouldn't mind some kind of border or maybe only shadow, hinting that this icon is something clickable.

I had a similar feeling in the past. Perhaps we could do something about it (not necessarily in this ticket, though).
