Hi Damyon,
Here are a few suggestions:
- First of all, I vote for the moving of the navigation into the navbar and the consistent gear icon
- In my opinion, moving the administration block into the navbar could make sense (something like decaf / flexibase themes), since this block takes a lot of space on every page. (see attach)
- A consistent "turn edit on" button would be great as well (see attach), and even a persistent edit mode for priviledged roles.
- A show/hide blocks toggle would be interesting too (see attach)
Regards
