Made Automation title more prominent. - creation automation modal layout changed - removed label for name field - removed help text - removed warning - added background to icons - changed item size - added placeholder to name input
- improved inline alert title spacing - added a background color to the modal component - it was grey on light - changed static color of triggers - yellow -
- the grey on grey has bugged me for eternity. I also like how it looks in darkest mode too - the contrast is nice.

QA Wolf here! As you write new code it's important that your test coverage is keeping up. |

I think these changes look really good Joe 👌 Only thing I spotted is that the looping icon needs updated to match the new icon styles: I think the reduction in text here is welcome: I reckon we should also bring back the arrows for branches, because there are definitely cases where you'd want to reorder your branches, and the only option without that is to delete and recreate your conditions on every branch which would be quite tedious. I don't mind the width reduction of the steps, but I don't like that this is now on 2 lines: |

I initially removed the warning from the new automation model. @PClmnt felt it was needed. I feel that if it is needed, this is not the place to show it - considering it's the first thing people see, and the action (publish) is the last thing users do. Good spot with the looping icon. I wanted to create a 3rd category - Logic or something and provide a different color for them. If I was to make another change - I would change the shape of the trigger icon to a hexagon or something to make it really stand out - or the budibase logo arrow. Branching arrows
Also... if we do add back the arrows, I'd probably add a more icon and place the delete, left, and right functionality in there. |

Joe and had a call earlier with version iterations on the automation branching. As you'll see I've amended the design to include Joe's latest additions as well as some of my own. These include having 'First check this branch', then 'then check this branch' at the top of the nodes. In addition, we've removed the info text and placed the branch movement buttons in a submenu with contextual labels, that way the user understands what they mean. Let me know your thoughts! |
- updated looping icon (cyan + black) - updated looping label type - to p - removed label margin
- spacing (between delete and chevron icons) was different between looping and actions
- handle religned to prevent card from growing - spacing improved with modal cards - automations closed by default - background and border added to header to improve structure
- changed color of help icon - added hover color to drag container

@shogunpurple any updates/blockers on this one? |
Description
I updated the UI in several places, primarily the Automations section, to improve the design and experience.
I made styling changes that were not attached to our design system - specifically, the yellow and indigo within automations. These colors make the UI "pop." Happy to discuss this in more detail.
@deanhannigan I removed the left and right arrows on branches—I don't think they're needed. We can add them back if necessary.

It would be beneficial to introduce a third category - Logic to this modal. I would also change Condition to "Continue If"

Add a small description in layman's terms of what this PR achieves. This will be used in the release notes.
I believe it improves the overall UX/UI
