dashboard prototype

- Why not keep the config screens connected to the header?

- think coverflow, a scrolling strip of options with direct links to each module/section's most important tasks. Clicking those opens the full overlay, covering the strip almost completely, only leaving a tab like row.

modal or not, if using an overlay we don't have to care about sidebars yes or no, so lets make use of full screen width.

That sidescrolling feature is backwards.

why not fill the screen in the first place

I love this prototype. I am a huge advocate of the horizontal scroll for options like this. One of the things we worked through on Buzzr was how much vertical real estate to take up with the admin dashboard. When the panels slide down, it takes up a fair amount of the screen real estate, which can be a problem if the user needs to reference something on the page. Some combination of horizontal scrolling bars and vertical palettes is probably the answer.

nice prototyping :))

I think this is a really interesting idea and definitely worth pursuing further. We were hoping that the dashboard would be able to work as a 'jumping off point' for key tasks as well as an 'overview' of current activity on the system, so it would be great if we can reconcile those two tasks with the approach you are suggesting here...
