Hi Sonny ,=20

This seems to be a really good idea. However , I have something to suggest =
 . How about the following -=20

When you navigate to the left hand side for the menu -items to appear  (whe=
n the cube rolls) , why not have the tree structure view also for the tabs =
( infrastructure , network etc. ) , like it used to be there in the prior  =
versions of CloudStack UI.

This would give the user some kind of flexibility to either use the breadcr=
umbs or the tree structure  (minimizes clicks  as well  + denotes the hiera=
rchy as well ) to navigate to which ever place he wants to.

Please , let me know , how feasible and practical this idea would be.=20

Thanks & Regards,
Pranav

Subject: UI: Navigation concept

Hello All,

In an effort to gain more screen real estate, a few front-end developers an=
d I have been playing around with changing the navigation and are researchi=
ng a few things like max and min width in the css. Below is a link to a sam=
ple of a "3d cubed" based navigation. Would love to hear thoughts regarding=
 this idea. We are still working on some of the more requested items in the=
 feedback(too many clicks, easier accessibility, etc...) but are taking thi=
ngs step by step.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks You and Best Regards,
