Description Christopher Brannon 2019-04-17 18:33:58 UTC
I suggest we get rid of the Global system preferences box under the Koha administration label on admin-home.pl.  You can do the same search in the search box ABOVE the Koha administration label.

I like the visibility of the search box in the body of the page (but I'm biased...I added it). I would prefer that we give it a unique ID to make it easy to hide it with custom CSS.

Thx for filing this Christopher, it's always good to discuss these kinds of things.

I tend to be biased too, as I end up using it quite often for its better visiblity. So I think siding with Owen here. Would you be ok with the ID?
Comment 3 Christopher Brannon 2019-04-17 21:06:16 UTC
I guess.  It just drives me nuts to use up screen space to duplicate a function.
Comment 4 Josef Moravec 2019-04-24 11:36:08 UTC
I used it often too, although I know the search on top has the same function ;)
Comment 5 Christopher Brannon 2019-04-24 20:10:52 UTC
Can't you just turn the top search filed blue or something?  I'm not sure why having it two inches lower makes any difference.  It's just wasted space, IMO.
