Hi guys,

Have just updated lemonstand for the first time in a long time (9 months), and have come across the changes you have made to the UI in both the Order Preview and Customer admin pages. Specifically the ones where you have moved the billing and shipping address info onto the first page, and relegated the other info onto new tabs.

To be honest the old layout worked a lot better for the client as they aren't worried about seeing delivery and billing address info straight away, but much prefer seeing status and notes, etc. Also having the Order Items table (in the orders screen) and the Orders table (in the customer screen) stretched out over the whole page also makes them much harder to read at a glance

Is there anyway to go back to the old layout at all? Am I only person who has raised this as an issue?

Kind Regards,
George.

I do not belive it is possible to edit the system in that way without directly editing the backend module. The problem with editing the module directly is in updates it will need to be recoded since any updates to the module would overwrite your customizations. The only customization of the backend that I know is supported and mostly future proof is themeing the actual color scheme which does not edit the functions themselves.

I have not used Lemonstand before the UI changes you are referring to so it *may* be possible, but it sounds like a workflow vs theme issue.

This seems surprising, but perhaps our business is just that little bit different from most lemonstand ones that it impacts us more? Anyway I guess there's not much I can do about it, I was just really checking that there wasn't a way to configure it back to how it was.
I might look to see if I can a least style the tables so they don't extend across the whole screen, which should make them more easily readable. Thanks,George

If you want to do things like editing the tables, you *may* be able to do that through a custom theme. Use something like Chrome or Firefox's Inspect features to figure out how to target the table, then just set the width at the bottom of the custom theme's CSS so it *should* be one of the last things seen therefore setting the width of the table.
