Our toolbars are widely inconsistent across the staff client and with bug 30952 they became much less obvious as a 'call to action' to the end user. See https://github.com/jajm/koha-staff-interface-redesign/issues/26 for some discussion around this. I think we can still improve here.. Consistency wise and also overall contrast/clarity improvements.

Visit /cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/itemsearch.pl Check "Go to advanced search" button style Visit /cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl Check "Go to item search" link style These 2 things should match. Additionally, in /cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl "More options" and "Clear fields" are actions that affect the current page, whilst "Go to item search" takes the user to a different page. The "go to" in the label may be considered a good enough hint, but bug 33190 introduces a new optional link to this toolbar, that also navigates to a different page, and to keep adding "go to" to these links does not seem like a sustainable option. I agree with Martin's comment in bug 33190 that we should find a way to further distinguish these actions in this toolbar. ------- These docs are very good: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Interface_patterns#Toolbar_buttons But I think this specific case for advanced-search toolbar does not fit in any of the examples there.
Maybe we should first fix contrast on another bug report right ? It is really hard to see the toolbar text grey on grey.

What I think we really need is a template block for toolbar-button and a template block for toolbar-link. See bug 34707. Thoughts?
