This was intentional. I even thought of putting links in the buttons but it's a rather odd convention. We've had discussion about opening a tab for changing tasks so I wanted to see how this played, but I agree it's inconsistent with what we've done so far. It's certainly simple to render it the old way. I'd like to see what others think about it. I asked for opinions on today's status call. Agreement we need real anchor behavior. Some discussion about whether to style anchors as buttons. I tried the approach where we style anchors as buttons, and this worked, but then you start to wonder...should I style the text the anchor color? how does the user know it's an anchor vs. not? etc. etc. So in the end, I think Szymon's suggestion is the correct one. If it's a link, it should look like a link. It actually looks fine in the repositories view and can only look better in the new repo view. |
See attachment 208723 [details]. The new "button" style looks very nice, however href commands are rendered as buttons too. There is no way to choose to open is a separate tab etc. Maybe we should render href commands the old way, even if "button" style is used?
